Great! Good luck.

It was rather frustrating for me...

It's been a couple of years since I've had this machine working.

So the other week, I installed FC4 on the machine the other week. Then, 
I tried to do a full update, it downloaded 1.5Gb of packages to /var, 
then got stuck when it ran out of space in /usr.

So, I reinstalled with some re-thought partition sizing.

Next, I hit this problem. So I tried again a few times - as some of the 
previous package problems I have suffered from have been cleared up by 
repetition. No luck. It took some time to re-download the same 1.5Gb of 
packages each time.

Finally, I actually took the time to think about the error messages, and 
decided to remove the offending package. I just pity the poor 
Polish-speakers who have this problem...
