I believe the filesystem RPM basically owns all the main directories on the system. One of them being /media. I suspect you have something mounted on /media, and since installing filesystem will try to create /media, that results in an error it wasn't expecting. can you umount /media and try again? I think that would allow 'filesystem' to complete its install process.... -Bond > -----Original Message----- > From: centos-bounces at centos.org [mailto:centos-bounces at centos.org] On > Behalf Of Emmanuel Noobadmin > Sent: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 11:45 PM > To: CentOS mailing list > Subject: [CentOS] Update update failed on filesystem-2.4.0-3.el5.x86_64 > > I was doing a upgrade of an existing machine from 5.4 to 5.5. > Everything else worked except for this rpm > filesystem-2.4.0-3.el5.x86_64 > > It seems that it's trying to unpack the file into the CentOS DVD mount > point > > > Error unpacking rpm package filesystem-2.4.0-3.el5.x86_64 > > error: unpacking of archive failed on file /media: cpio: lsetfilecon > > Would it be safe to manually download the rpm then install it locally, > or would that not work either?
