Hi,
While updating today, cpio failed on me randomly, twice! I see errors like this:
Scriptlet output: 1 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/share/doc/ffmpeg/COPYING.LGPLv3;54d881f2: cpio: open 2 error: ffmpeg-2.4.6-2.fc21.x86_64: install failed
Scriptlet output: 1 error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/src/kernels/3.18.5-201.fc21.x86_64/arch/arm/mach-mv78xx0/Kconfig;54d8814e: cpio: open 2 error: kernel-devel-3.18.5-201.fc21.x86_64: install failed
When I tried updating those two packages again, they succeeded. I am wondering if there is a problem that needs fixing, or is this just chance.
Thanks for any thoughts,
Hello again,

I'm seeing this more and more often. Is something wrong with my system? How do I debug this? Increasing the verbosity of dnf does no good. Here is a sample output:

I don't know why cpio is failing, but dnf should not be completing with a success. It even reports it successfully upgraded the packages!
Any thoughts?

That probably need to be reported as a bug.
Any thoughts?
I don't have any solutions for your problem, but do you have any other strange issues with your system, crashes ...? Package checksums should be verified before updating, so download is "ok". Maybe you can run memtest86/+?

This is a ~1 yr old Thinkpad, I haven't really seen any issues during this time. I'll do the memtest check anyway, just in case.
Any ideas so that I can replicate the cpio problem consistently and investigate would be nice.
Cheers,

No errors after 1 pass.

I'm still out of ideas to replicate the problem.

I have replicated this problem on a 8-yr old Dell (32-bit) and a 5-yr old Dell Precision T7400 (64-bit). Both machines were upgraded from F20 using fedup (and previously from F19 to F20 also).
This problem did not happen on an update with a fresh install of F21 on a Dell Latitude E6400.
I removed atlas-devel and installed and then this problem did not show up.
Many thanks, Ranjan
