Hi,

during "yum update" (FC4) I get the following error message:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/bin/install-mh;437091d9:
cpio: link

The usual cause of this sort of thing is when a new version of a package includes a file/directory/symlink at some location (/usr/bin/install-mh in this case) and the thing already at that location (perhaps in an older version of the package) is of a different type, e.g. a directory instead of a file.

Try removing the nmh package and then reinstalling it using yum.
