Description Jörg Mayer 2008-03-23 12:26:17 UTC
The directories /usr/share/texmf/texconfig/{g,v,x} need to be removed prior to updating. Otherwise the update will fail with:

Installation of texlive-2007-146 failed:
(with --nodeps --force) Error: Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/texmf/texconfig/g: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory


Abort, retry, ignore? [A/r/i]:

Same with the subdirectories v and x.
