I've had a similiar error on other packages. I'm not sure as to the
root cause. I'll have to implement other access controls to find out---
todo.
Anyways, you can recover from this error by moving ReleaseNotes to
ReleaseNotes.orig. And then touch ReleaseNotes.
This saves your original object which has been incorrectly defined as
a directory. Just in case anything goes awry. And then creates a file
object on your system that may be correctly processed by rpm.
You will probably find out numerous objects are fragged this way.

I posted this message on the Opensuse list but have no replies as yet. Can someone advise me what I can do to get the latest Squirrelmail update installed?
I'm having problems installing the latest security update for Squirrelmail. I've tried installing the patch several times using Suse Updater, and once with yast2. I get the following error.
Installation of [S2:1][package]squirrelmail-1.4.18-0.1.noarch failed: (with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: warning: /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/config/config_local.php saved as /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/config/config_local.php.rpmsave error: unpacking of archive failed on file /srv/www/htdocs/squirrelmail/doc/ReleaseNotes: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory (with --nodeps --force) Error
I'm running openSuse 10.3. How can I get this installed, or is this a problem with the update itself?
Many thanks,
Jim F
