error: unpacking of archive failed on file /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/backports.ssl_match_hostname-3.5.0.1-py2.7.egg-info: cpio: rename

That should be a file not a directory, If it is a directory then rename or remove it. If it is a file then check that someone has not made it immutable using chattr - use lsattr to check. If it is immutable then remove that bit.

I had same problem, and this isn't Linux file attribute.

It is wired, in past during bundle of some packages updates wasn't problem with update this packages, but now it back.

It is start after update CentOS 7.5 from CR repo.

[TrevorH]

No, this is a problem and it's not down to the package. I updated from the same version to this one without error.

A problem seemingly related to the issue was reported by a Scientific Linux user here. The reporter solved it by removing ssl_match_hostname*. How it happened is unknown.

This is a known issue. See this RH users' discussion thread:

https://access.redhat.com/discussions/3 ... nt-1300851

and a solution article:

(basically saying the same thing as in the discussion post: issues with python backports files)
