[rhelv6-list] yum problems - perl

[Iain Morrison]

Hi Olle,
  that would explain it - the other system is used to build /usr/local.
Is this a bug? I thought it was good practice to limit root write access
to NFS shares. [We limit it to build and restore hosts.]

thanks

iain

Root needs write permissions to /usr/local that it might not have if 
/usr/local is NFS-mounted
