Greetings; Smart popped up a log window just now, after finally getting this file from extras on the 2nd try. The first one timed out and I had to restart the update. --------------------- Output from linux-libertine-fonts-2.4.9-1.fc6@noarch: /usr/share/fonts: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/bitmap-fonts: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/bitstream-vera: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/default: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/default/Type1: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/default/ghostscript: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-fonts: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/dejavu-lgc: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/japanese: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/japanese/TrueType: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/japanese/misc: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/linux-libertine: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/msttcorefonts: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/perl: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/terminus-font: failed to write cache /usr/share/fonts/tv-fonts: failed to write cache error: %post(linux-libertine-fonts-2.4.9-1.fc6.noarch) scriptlet failed, exit status 16 ----------------- Does anybody have a clue? I've seen more of this sort of thing before over the last month or so, but everything seemed to be working in spite of this. To follow the first reported error line above, and ls -l shows that linux-libertine is dated just a few seconds ago, and that there are now these files residing there: [root@coyote ~]# ls -l /usr/share/fonts/linux-libertine/ total 6976 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 554164 Oct 1 05:53 LinLibertineBd.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 767916 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertineBI.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1280024 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertineB.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 648872 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertineC.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 489932 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertineI.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 346932 Oct 1 05:53 LinLibertine_It.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1284296 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertine.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 463100 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertineU_Bd.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 485748 Mar 17 03:57 LinLibertineU.ttf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 758692 Oct 1 05:53 LinuxLibertine-BdIt.ttf Which to me says it succeeded, and without checking, I assume any other writes also succeeded. But I'm still puzzled. What 'cache' is it talking about.
Look at rpm --query --scripts linux-libertine-fonts to see what it does in its post-install and post-uninstall scripts. ;) Afterwards you can examine why fc-cache reported errors.
