Guys,

There seemes to be a bad rpm in place for 11.0 kvpnc x86_64. Here is the error received:

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/kvpnc.png;4bcb45b3: cpio: link failed - Invalid cross-device link

Are /usr/share/icons/ and /usr/share/kde4 on different filesystems? I assume that fdupes has made /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/kvpnc.png into a hard link to /usr/share/kde4/apps/kvpnc/icons/locolor/32x32/apps/kvpnc.png

Yep, I was running out of room on / so I moved icons to /home and symlinked it. I didn't think /usr/share/icons would be a problem because both filesystems are well mounted long before any icons are messed with. Is it a problem?

I have

-rw-r--r-- 4 root root 2676 2005-10-08 22:13 /usr/share/icons/hicolor/32x32/apps/kvpnc.png

and

-rw-r--r-- 4 root root 2676 2005-10-08 22:13 /usr/share/kde4/apps/kvpnc/icons/locolor/32x32/apps/kvpnc.png

It's usually safe to assume that all of /usr/share/ is on the same filesystem, but if it was not you would get this error. If it is split across 2 filesystems, I'm not sure if this is an error. If not, something else is afoot.

The game is no longer afoot -- you nailed this one 'dead on'! Let me know if having ../icons on /home is an issue. I just made the move about a week ago, so I know it isn't related to the menu or kcmshell module issue. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Yes, to save download and DVD space we run a program called fdupes which identifies duplicate files and makes them into hard links. Hard links don't work across filesystems.

Splitting /usr/share across filesystems is really weird from our POV so you should solve the problem properly and resize some partitions.

I new it! No matter how you replied, I knew it was going to end up being more work ;-) I'll put Hummpty-Dumpty back together again :p -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
