Fedora update fails for “filesystem” package

packagesyum

I have Fedora 19 currently installed and the filesystem package has shown up in the updates. I find it a little peculiar on how to actually update the filesystem package.

Running transaction Updating : filesystem-3.2-13.fc19.x86_64 1/2

Error unpacking rpm package filesystem-3.2-13.fc19.x86_64 error:

unpacking of archive failed on file /lib: cpio: rename

filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64 was supposed to be removed but is not!

Verifying : filesystem-3.1-2.fc18.x86_64 1/2 Verifying :

filesystem-3.2-13.fc19.x86_64 2/2 Failed: filesystem.x86_64
0:3.1-2.fc18 filesystem.x86_64 0:3.2-13.fc19 Complete!

I reformatted the root partition and re-installed the base system. Was able to walk through the update from F18* -> F19 (F = Fedora).

*Issues with NIC drivers were resolved in upgrade to F19.
