Description Remi Collet 2021-12-10 10:08:32 UTC 
Also reported to FPC as (if an expected behavior) it may affects packaging documentation

https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1139


In short when a scriplet (%pretrans) clean a symlink before the update to be replaced by a directory and its content

=> works with pm -Uvh
=> doesn't work with dnf (Transaction test fails)

This may block distro upgrade.
