Isn't this the historic problem of rpm having been unable to deal with from-symlink and to-symlink changes.. (after all, it is trying to update/replace it with a drwx /home)
..along with the from-dir to-file and vice versa.
Considering, that we all get bitten by it from time to time, question is, why rpm refrains from solving this annoyance?
Another question is, if packages should touch /home at all?
I'd rather ask why people don't add a proper entry to their /etc/fstab? This way, everything would be OK from rpm's point of view: /home.server /home none bind 0 0 Cheers. l8er manfred
