error: unpacking of archive failed
After alot of research and running of our own servers we seem time and time again with yum and up2date and even rpm updates with the following error
error: unpacking of archive failed on file /bin/tar: cpio: rename failed
even when you logged in root and see the same issue
to solve this message logged in as root run the following command
chattr -ais
for example:
chattr -ais /bin/tar
now run yum upgrade or RPM
if you still have issues just leave comments and i will find an solution for you!
I did it but it doesn’t help.
[root@vps ~]# lsattr /etc/postfix/virtual

you using yum or just installing via rpm? so I can see if i can help
I am using yum
Yum is better to use.
