OK, this is the 2nd time this happened to me on updating a machine from f15-
>f16.

I used preupgrade.

08:55:51 Upgrading pyparsing-1.5.6-1.fc16.noarch
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-
packages/pyparsing-1.5.6-p\
y2.7.egg-info: cpio: rename failed - Resource temporarily unavailable

And update just quits there.

anaconda should be more tolerant of such errors.  Leaving the update partway 
done is not a good thing.
