on a CentOS 7.5 machine with PostgreSQL 10.3 installed from the PGDG yum repo,
I have a strange error when trying to update to 10.6.
A simple "yum update" updated everything except postgresql10-server.x86_64!
That package gives (repeatedly) the error message:
Error unpacking rpm package postgresql10-server-10.6-1PGDG.rhel7.x86_64
error: unpacking of archive failed: cpio: lstat
I would try cleaning up all the data (packages and metadata) and trying again:
yum clean all
yum update postgresql10-server
Regards,
Thanks Martín,
a yum clean all did not help.
In the end, some time later (and after a reboot) yum update
succeeded and we never found out why.
I think we can archive this as a one-time glitch with yum.
Bye,
Chris.
