Jones <rjones(a)redhat.com&gt; Date: Wed Jun 26 21:40:26 2013 +0100 Ignore ghost non-regular files. RPMs in Fedora 20 contain /var/run and /var/lock, as symlinks, marked %ghost. The old code would create these as regular files which would then cause a failure if something was created inside them. You would see an error like this: Fatal error: exception Unix.Unix_error(8, "mkdir", "/tmp/supermineab65b098ad It's fixed in Fedora >= 18 if you have the supermin >= 4.1.1-2.
