Description Vilem Marsik 2008-06-24 14:43:21 UTC

Scenario:
---------
I had a new installation, then needed to add a few more packages (the whole pattern KDE3). NTP was one of its requirements that YaST tried to install. The installation failed with following message:

ntp-4.2.4p4-44.1.x86_64.rpm install failed
rpm output:
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /var/run/ntp: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory

Diagnostics:
------------

/var/run/ntp already exists as a directory.
'rpm -q -f /var/run/ntp' says that it is not owned by any package.
Maybe something during the installation created this directory?
