Shalom,

This doesn't strike me as a very big problem.

WARNING: Can't create core transition links since files/directories exist:
/usr/tmp -> /var/tmp

Looks like a link the patch is trying to create is already there.

You might want to look at the symlink:
ll /usr/tmp

It should have a "t":
lrwxrwxrwt 1 root sys ... /usr/tmp@ -> /var/tmp
