Hello world!

I have some trouble for upgrading a guest from fedora core 7 to fedora 
core 8.
The package filesystem can't extract and hence doesn't upgrade.
Here is the output of my yum update command :

# yum update

Error unpacking rpm package filesystem - 2.4.11-1.fc8.i386

I saw that : http://www.pld-linux.org/Vserver
I changed /etc/vservers/myvserver/apps/pkgmgmt/base/rpm/etc/macros but 
it didn't make no differrence.

Package management is internalized.
The host is a centos5 server.
My kernel is 2.6.22.19-vs2.3.0.34.1.
My tools are :
util-vserver-0.30.215-0.1.el5.centos
util-vserver-lib-0.30.215-0.1.el5.centos
util-vserver-sysv-0.30.215-0.1.el5.centos
util-vserver-core-0.30.215-0.1.el5.centos
util-vserver-build-0.30.215-0.1.el5.centos

I tried to rerun the vprocunhide service but it didn't change anything.

Do you have any idea?
