The postgresql-server RPM contains its own copy of the zoneinfo database, which I wanted to replace with a symlink to /usr/share/zoneinfo to avoid needing to turn Postgres for zoneinfo updates. Unfortunately it seems RPM fails to cope with this situation during an update scenario; it fails like so: [tgl@rh2 x86_64]$ sudo rpm -F postgresql-8.2.4-4.x86_64.rpm postgresql-serv... error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/pgsql/timezone: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory [tgl@rh2 x86_64]$ and leaves me with a half-updated fileset. Is this a bug in RPM, or in cpio itself? Perhaps more to the point, how can I work around it until it gets fixed? I was hoping to ship this update today ... regards, tom lane -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
