--- Comment #2 from Marcus Schaefer 2009-01-16 03:58:25 MST ---
my guess is the following. when kiwi installs packages inside chroot
it holds a bind mount to the local repositories. If you Ctrl-C the
application the cleanup code normally removes all that mounts. Maybe
that failed due to a 100% full filesystem (just a guess). If you now
call rm -rf on the /tmp/kde45-source directory it will recursively follow
the bind mounted locations. These locations are only pointing to the
repositories so in the worst case you will loose your local copy of
the repository but nothing from your local root filesystem is touched
To make sure this is the cause you should try to reproduce the problem
and do _not_ call rm -rf but check the mount list instead and tell us
what is mounted
If your system has aufs installed kiwi will overlay mount the repo paths
readonly into your new root system which prevents you from accidently
removing anything
Frankly said I have no explanation why this happened and I also
can't reproduce it on my test systems
