I recently had a bit of trouble installing nodejs on my Fedora installation. RPM was having issues installing during the nodejs install process.
The error installing as root is as follows:
+ rpm -i --nosignature --force '/tmp/tmp.3BlR6h6inY'
*error: can't create transaction lock on /var/lib/rpm/.rpm.lock (Inappropriate ioctl for device)*
Error executing command, exiting
