That looks like an actual error. There is no reason a rename of a license tmp file should fail (unless they added a new "Agree with License" check that is causing it to fail). Does it always fail at the same point? (if you have used reasonable defaults to setup the guest in vbox, that should all be fine from a memory/disk space standpoint)
It happens to me a lot. The reason is that the file is often present on two different directories, and the installation tries to conserve space by doing one a hardlink. This is normally just fine, but some of us have several mounts and it may happen that both directories are on different partitions, and thus the hardlink fails. IMHO there should be an rpm creation check to warn against hardlinks and replace with symlinks or real copies. This is detected by running the installation of the single failed package from the "rpm" command in verbose mode, and further, tracing it. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
