What's really going on here? This is not the first time I've seen glibc-locale claim it needs more space than it thinks is available on the / filesystem. What is responsible for this obvious miscalculation?
Perhaps there is a bug in handling of packages with many hardlinks.
Interesting idea, but I slightly doubt that's the reason.
IIRC I've seen rpm's space-miscalculations in several packages [1], and I doubt all of them contained hardlinks.
Could rpm be estimating using an arbitrary blocksize of 4k rather than the filesystem's actual blocksize? In my OP, 4:1 was about the ratio between actual freespace using actual blocksize and how much of that space would be consumed if the blocksize making up that actual space were 4k. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
