This is likely caused by trying to go from a symbolic link to something else.  See https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/Directory_Replacement/

Comment 1 Rich Megginson 2022-11-09 01:30:16 UTC

Is https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/linux-system-roles/pull-request/89 the correct solution?  If so, I'll merge, build and push this now.

The solution Sergei implemented is the one recommended by the Packaging Guidelines[1]. I tested this locally on a Fedora 36 machine. I installed linux-system-roles-0:1.21.1-1.fc36.noarch. Afterwards, I tried to install 1.22.0-2.fc36 from updates-testing and got the same error as Orion. Then, I built https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/linux-system-roles/pull-request/89 for F36 and was able to install that successfully. I did the same in a Rawhide container. So yes, go ahead and merge it :).
