I am unable to make subversion working on centOS 6.4. I am getting httpd unpacking error on installing mod_dav_svn. I am getting the following error.

Any help or suggestions will be appreciable. Thanks

For reference, here is the error message you gave us:

error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/httpd/logs: cpio: rename failed - Is a directory

The problem is that /etc/httpd/logs is not supposed to be a directory. It's supposed to be a symbolic link. This is what it looks like on a live system:

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 19 Aug 24 23:39 /etc/httpd/logs -> ../../var/log/httpd

So move the /etc/httpd/logs directory somewhere else, and then try running the update.

  • Similar issue when `/etc/httpd/modules` was not a symlink for **httpd-2.2.15-69.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm** (removed directory, then upgrade worked) – Akom Sep 11 '19 at 13:29

Try to clean cache of yum 

# yum clean all

and try again. Also you could try to download rpm directly from server

# wget http://mirror.mirohost.net/centos/6.4/updates/x86_64/Packages/httpd-2.2.15-29.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm    
# rpm -ivh httpd-2.2.15-29.el6.centos.x86_64.rpm
