Did an upgrade of my AMD64 from 9.2 to 9.3 and am running into issues..
1) newt-32bit won't install, I get the following error message
ERROR(InstTarget:E_RpmDB_subprocess_failed) --- 2005-04-16 18:37:48 newt-32bit-9.3-7.x86_64.rpm install failed rpm output: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory
Don't know what caused it, but I solved this one by deleting the directory /usr/lib/python and deleting a bunch of symlinks in the form of python:3ALKD4 in /usr/lib that were all dated today and appear to have been temporary links created by the retries I did trying to install newt-32bit. Once I deleted that stuff, Yast went ahead and successfully installed newt-32bit. Have no idea why or how the empty /usr/lib/python directory got on my system, but looks like the newt-32bit install didn't like it one bit. Scott
