Ben, I got the same reports. It may be that you already have those symlinks. I ignored them and all went fine. I have a small root drive and numerous symlinks to other locations. I do have some real concerns about the long term consequences of YAST not cleaning up everything upon removing packages. Thanks for bringing this up. This problem (feature?) has always bothered me. Perhaps the Saubermacher(s) (how does one make this plural?) at S.u.S.E. can clear this up. Steve Ben wrote:
I installed SuSE 5.2 today and had the following errors:
warning: can't rmdir /usr/spool -- skipping symlink warning: can't rmdir /usr/tmp -- skipping symlink
warning: can't rmdir /usr/X386 -- skipping symlink warning: can't rmdir /usr/include/g++-include -- skipping symlink warning: can't rmdir /usr/lib/X11 -- skipping symlink

If anyone could please tell me what to do about this I would be very greatfull. I do not know what links need to be made, or why they were not made durring installation. The only thing I did different with this install is that /usr is not on the root partition. As a result of this problem I have't been able to compile anything but the kernel.
