on a CentOS 7.5 machine with PostgreSQL 10.3 installed from the PGDG yum repo, I have a strange error when trying to update to 10.6. A simple "yum update" updated everything except postgresql10-server.x86_64! That package gives (repeatedly) the error message: Error unpacking rpm package postgresql10-server-10.6-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: lstat
I would try cleaning up all the data (packages and metadata) and trying again: yum clean all yum update postgresql10-server Regards,
Thanks Martín, a yum clean all did not help. In the end, some time later (and after a reboot) yum update succeeded and we never found out why. I think we can archive this as a one-time glitch with yum. Bye, Chris.
