Description Felix Niederwanger 2024-02-29 07:22:07 UTC 
When updating to Tumbleweed snapshot 20240227 I get the following error message:

> error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/libexec/virtiofsd;65e02c7e: cpio: File from package already exists as a directory in system
> error: virtiofsd-1.10.1-3.1.x86_64: install failed

> ( 43/104) Installing: virtiofsd-1.10.1-3.1.x86_64

Indeed, the directory /usr/libexec/virtiofsd exists and contains a virtiofsd binary:

> phoenix@racetrack-7290:/usr/libexec/virtiofsd> ls /usr/libexec/virtiofsd

I've not done (knowingly) any changes to this directory/files.
Comment 1 Felix Niederwanger 2024-02-29 08:04:06 UTC 
A possible workaround is to remove and re-install the package:

> # zypper rm virtiofsd
> # zypper in virtiofsd

This was posted on the Factory mailing list.

Looks like a dup. I expect quite a few people are hitting this
