This is because my /home filesystem is nfs mounted. It seems that the file system rpm, has problems with it. Is this a bug in the filesystem rpm?
The NFS share is not allowing the changing of the permissions for its mount point. An easy workaround would probably be to unmount the share, update the rpm, then re-mount the share
I had the idea in mind.
Just a question: Why are you trying to update this rpm in the first place? This one just creates the base linux files system hierarchy. This should all be in place already on a running system.
It's a upgrade:
apt showpkg filesystem Package: filesystem Versions: 10.0-4.2 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.0-i386_base_pkglist.update) (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.0-i386_base_pkglist.security) 10.0-4 (/var/lib/apt/lists/ftp4.gwdg.de_pub_linux_suse_apt_SuSE_10.0-i386_base_pkglist.base) (/var/lib/rpm/Packages)
I don't know why it is needed, but someone in suse thought it is necessary... Hmm it is even a security update! However, I can't imagine that I'm the only one running into this nfs permission problem. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
