When running 'rpm -e package' command would meet an error:

root@qemuarm:~# rpm -e man
error: cannot create %_repackage_dir /var/spool/repackage/1298783326

But the package can be removed.

This issue happens on qemuarm/qemumips/qemuppc and beagleboard.

The same error happens on x86 platform also.
Comment 2 Mark Hatle 2011-03-02 14:24:17 UTC 
Lowering the priority.  This is not actually a failure.  The package is indeed removed.
Comment 4 Yi Zhao 2011-03-22 22:36:01 UTC 
Verify the bug with gold build, it is fixed.
