Yast fails when doing the online update with Thunderbird translations

English Applications

openSUSE 12.3
KDE 4.10.5
Thunderbird 24.0

Subprocess failed. Error: RPM failed: error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib64/firefox/browser/extensions/langpack-da@firefox.mozilla.org/chrome/da/locale/da/global-platform/mac/intl.properties: cpio: rename failed - Input/output error
error: MozillaFirefox-translations-common-24.0-1.33.1.x86_64: install failed
error: MozillaFirefox-translations-common-23.0-1.29.1.x86_64: erase skipped

I have gotten this error for the last 3 times I have tried the update. I did both ignore and abort and it doesn’t seem to affect T-Bird either way.

Assuming the rpm downloaded correctly (ie, the checksum did not fail and
you did not choose “ignore” on that failed check), then I think you
found a bug.

Hello again Robin,

Who do I have to talk to about getting this fixed ?

The reason I ask is that I tried it again today and unselected any update dealing with Thunderbird translations. Yast2 goes into what looks like an endless loop at 5% completed.
There were other updates to Thunderbird dealing with security that I want so that is why I tried again.
When it goes into a loop, I tried running Top and KSysGuard. I was trying to kill Yast but I couldn’t figure out what PID to kill.
In any respect, Yast was taking so much of the processing that it was impossible to run anything. I even had to power off to kill it.

I don’t like doing that.

Maybe I will need to switch mail clients.

Any ideas ?
thanks

IF there is a problem with the Thunderbird package, you have two
avenues. One, write a bugzilla as explained in the previous link. Two,
write in the opensuse at opensuse.org mail list, because the maintainer
reads there.

I would do the second one.

Well, that looks like a problem with YaST, not with thunderbird. In that
case I’m out of ideas right now.

I don’t have any problem with thunderbird. Well, one: in the recent
update (24.0), spell check is broken.

I had same issue on SeaMonkey’s mail component and setting
“mail.compose.max_recycled_windows” to 0 in about:config fixed the issue
for me

I’ll trie - yes, I tried. It appears to work, I see the red line on
“trie”. Thanks!

I had not noticed the link for posting a bug robin, so after rereading your post, I went and posted my problem.

you are welcome. i found that fix on SeaMonkey newsgroups. It seems that
this is a “gecko” issue rather than Firefox/SeaMonkey/Thunderbird isuue.
