Thanks, that worked for us too.
I am still puzzled as to why or how this happened. I am sure it's a problem with the NVIDIA driver installer, but why would it pick up the ~hobbit/client/tmp directory? It just seems too damn strange.

I've got the same error a few month ago ...
.. i've deleted the tmp-link in home of hobbit
/usr/lib/hobbit/client/tmp is a link to /tmp

.. for me, it did worked ..

How did you resolve it? What caused it?
Did you come up with a workaround?
It sounds like the NVIDIA drivers are the common denominator here, but
we need to update all our desktops, and this is a bit of a show-stopper.

Hi all
OK, this is the strangest thing I have ever seen.
We are running Red Hat EL3 A few weeks back, we compiled hobbit into a rpm, and installed the client on this machine.
Now we are trying to update the video driver, and we get this.
sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-169.04-pkg2.run -ans Verifying archive

If we remove the hobbit RPM and rename the /usr/lib/hobbit directory
to something else, it works.
Has anybody seen anything like this before?
Yes, it was at least a year ago, and I was looking at hobbit-4.1.2 IIRC. It was the same sort of bizarre environment poisoning you describe, and I also saw it when trying to update nvidia drivers.
