How am I supposed to deal with this error?
# rpm -Uvh filesystem-2.2.1-3.centos.1.i386.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:filesystem ########################################### [100%] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /home: cpio: chown failed - Operation not permitted # rpm -q filesystem package filesystem is not installed # ls -dlL /home drwxr-xr-x 301 root root 8192 Nov 2 18:25 /home
/home mounted from NFS server.
Of course, I could unmount /home to install this. But I have many machines like this one and /home can't always be unmounted when we do updates. I personally feel it's a bug in filesystem package. rpm shouldn't blow up like that because of this issue.
