rpm package

[Marcel Kunath]

Hi,

I was trying to install the python.rpm from SuSE. It simply won't do it. I
tried rpm -i ftp...., rpm -i python.rpm and I also tried using YaST.

It always breaks off.
mail:/usr/src/mailman-2.0beta4 # rpm -U python.rpm
unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python: cpio: unlink failed - Bad
file descriptor

I can of course compile it myself I just want to know why it doesn't work
though. I am also wondering if this is packet specific.

I tried the 6.4 python package and then the 6.4 python package (updated 1.5.2)
it happens on both of them.

I can install remove other packages fine.

It also says this:

mail:/usr/src/mailman-2.0beta4 # rpm --rcfile pyt*
missing ':' (found 0x00) at python.rpm:1
mail:/usr/src/mailman-2.0beta4 # rpm -i --test pyt*
mail:/usr/src/mailman-2.0beta4 # rpm -K pyt*
python.rpm: md5 OK
