Greetings, I have just been given a VPS with a fresh, minimal Centos 4.2 installation. When I ran "yum update" it went on updating some tenths of packages and signalled this error: Updating : perl ####################### [24/88] Updating : rpm-python ####################### [25/88] Updating : MAKEDEV ####################### [26/88] error: unpacking of archive failed on file /dev/MAKEDEV: cpio: rename Updating : iputils ####################### [27/88] Updating : ruby ####################### [28/88] What does this exactly mean, and what is the safe/right thing to do? Thanks in advance, Marco -- Marco Fioretti mfioretti, at the server mclink.it Fedora Core 5 for low memory http://www.rule-project.org/ "Per quanto non siano leggeri i libri possiedono una proporzione grammi/minuti di intrattenimento che prevale agevolmente sugli stupefacenti."
