It was right before I started Anaconda, but I wasn't paying attention of first reboot after and am thus unsure whether Anaconda left it corrupted.
'man lsattr' describes how to list attributes and 'man chattr' explains their meanings but run fsck first.
By the time I saw this reply I had already started installation all over again.
It is too late now but a file system corruption sometimes results in strange attributes set on inodes. I have seen that on some occassions. It is a possibility as you have seen that on a file replacement step and not when creating new database files.
