After hand-repairing a broken repo install of xymon on a new prototype xymon server, I just attempted a xymon-client install on a prototype client. That was broken, too. Am I doing something wrong, or is the rpm just hosed? This is a fully updated RHEL5 system. Like the server install, the xymon-client install blew up with a rename error and left the already unpacked files in place but with no trace of xymon in the rpm database. I guess I can clean up by pulling a file manifest from the rpm. Here's what happened:
