I've seen this repeatedly, with often very serious consequences (complete failure of update from f15->f16 for example). Between packages installed via pip, and packages installed via yum, some packages seem to switch between e.g., numpy-1.6.1-py2.7.egg-info being installed as a file and the same name being installed as a directory. This can cause subsequent rpm update (via cpio) to abort. I don't know what's causing this, but IMO this is a serious problem. -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
