Peter, 
Did you find a way out of this mess? I'm in the same boat here, and I
noticed the thread died.
Thanks
Dave

I have the install-error:

could not create rpm directories or
database:exceptions.Exception:[Errno17]
File exists:'/tmp/root/var'

i m a newbie :( , do you have any hints ?

the "rm -rf /tmp/root/var" does not fix the problem ...

thnx for any help,
best regards, Peter
