I regularly patch my 11.1 o/s via "zypper ref -b" followed by "zypper up".
Usually everything goes fine. However, last night tomcat6 was one of the proposed upgrades, and it failed.
This morning I repeated my usual procedure, and only tomcat6 was proposed.
When it ran, it failed with the message below.
Any ideas about how to proceed (info to gather, is it a config problem on my end, etc.)?
The update is broken, it tries to replace a directory with a symlink. Unfortunately that's an operation that rpm doesn't support. zypper rm tomcat6 zypper in tomcat6 should do the trick. (But save your tomcat configuration changes first.) Anyway, I've re-opened bnc#424675.
