It may be that you have a bad bash RPM from somewhere. I believe that the cpio command works directly on the package so you could try with cpio on the command line to see if it will open the RPM. I suspect that it won't be able to.
Cheers,

Hi,
For the last few updates I'm having a yum problem.
# yum update
gives the following error for e.g.
Running transaction Updating : bash-4.2.45-5.el7_0.2.x86_64 1/10 Error unpacking rpm package bash-4.2.45-5.el7_0.2.x86_64 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/alias;5423b9bc: cpio: open
The same problem happens if I try to use rpm for the update so it appears to be an rpm problem rather than a yum one.
I've rebuilt the rpm databases successfully but tthe problem persists.
Regards,
Tony
