A bug in kernel installation

[William John Murray]

  Hello guys,
           I just want to report a bug (or at least a feature) in 
yum update.
   I  have a symbol in my login scripts, maybe not a clever one:
   LIB=/home/murray/wjmlib
   for my private libraries. 

yum install kernel-XXX says:


....
Running rpm_check_debug
Running Transaction Test
Finished Transaction Test
Transaction Test Succeeded
Running Transaction
  Installing     : kernel
1/1 
cp: cannot stat `/usr//home/murray/wjmlib//plymouth/text.so': No such
file or directory
cp: cannot stat `/usr//home/murray/wjmlib//plymouth/details.so': No such
file or directory
The default plymouth plugin (.so) doesn't exist
========================================================================== Leaving rpm code ==========================================================================

Installed:
  kernel.i686
0:2.6.27.9-159.fc10                                                                                                                                     

Complete!

So if you do don't look hard you just see done. But Woops. This kernel
will not boot, with or without graphics.  OK, I have remove the $LIB
symbol, but it seems a shame that 1 user symbol breaks updating...
           Bill
