Description Uwe Gansert 2008-06-05 11:09:44 UTC 
2008-06-05 13:08:06 ntp-4.2.4p4-42.1.i586.rpm install failed
rpm output:
warning: /etc/ntp.conf created as /etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew
warning: /etc/slp.reg.d/ntp.reg created as /etc/slp.reg.d/ntp.reg.rpmnew
warning: /var/lib/ntp/etc/ntp.conf.iburst created as /var/lib/ntp/etc/ntp.conf.iburst.rpmnew
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /var/run/ntp: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory

/var/run/ntp is really a directory
Comment 1 Peter Varkoly 2008-06-05 14:14:27 UTC 
fixed
Comment 2 Ruediger Oertel 2008-06-05 15:53:46 UTC 
+test -L /var/run/ntp  || rm -f /var/run/ntp && :

this will not help at all if /var/run/ntp is a directory.

either use "mv" or you need "rm -rf" ...
Comment 3 Peter Varkoly 2008-06-06 06:58:33 UTC 
fixed with rm -rf

Because the LATER and REMIND resolutions have been removed, the resolution of this bug has changed from LATER to WONTFIX. If this bug needs to be reconsidered, reopen it and set a future "Target Milestone for Fix."
