I guess its not related to the rpm itself. What I am concerned about
is  the "Permission denied" message. I am doing everthing as "su -"
and yet permission denied??? I have seen one or two similar message
also when I updated (everything) after fresh installation of FC5. Can
somebody tell me what this message mean?

right now I am having "package installed but not installed" problem.
If I querry the rpm it says installed and if I try to remove it, it
says the package is not installed, If I try to reinstall over the
older one it says the package is installed. After several try I have
uninstall through yum and its uninstalled.

Now main question still remains. what is this message? what does it
mean? and how to solve it?


Thanks!
