Yes, at least that's was the last line looks like. However, I
don't know what the "cpio: unlink" means... Perhaps it's that
you don't have a working cpio. You might want to type 'cpio --version'
just to make sure you have it and it can execute. 'cpio' is
a package unto itself; mine (linuxppc 1999) is cpio-2.4.2-16,
so you might want to grab fresh .rpm file of that.

BTW, the 'warnings' are there just because you already had those
config files installed, and rpm didn't want to simply overwrite
them. If you really care, you might want to compare the new ones
with the old ones (*.rpmorig) and when you're happy delete all the
*.rpmorig files.

Is this a corrupt RPM or something else?
