This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 42 development cycle. Changing version to 42. This package has files in /usr/sbin and the lack of rebuild is preventing the sbin merge from being finalized. There's a PR to update to a newer snapshot. Could that be merged? I rebased & pushed that: https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/vpnc/pull-request/2 > There's a PR to update to a newer snapshot. Could that be merged?
I think vpnc is basically unmaintained. I removed myself from the committers list a couple of years ago because I did not want to ship a security-related package in Fedora which was dead upstream for so many years. I suggest to chkr that the package should be retired but obviously that did not happen.
@chkr: Maybe it's time to orphan the package? Or add @lkundrak as co-maintainer if he want that?

I don't really understand those errors as the %files section appears correct ...
The problem is serious. The installation can be "fixed" by adding
- make install DESTDIR="$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" PREFIX=/usr
+ make install DESTDIR="$RPM_BUILD_ROOT" PREFIX=/usr SBINDIR=%{_sbindir}
The package then builds, but is actually broken. The problem is that
the consolehelper setup uses symlinks in /usr/bin to /usr/sbin, which
obviously cannot work if the two directories are the same.
One option is to drop the consolehelper wrapper.
The other option is to rename the real binaries (e.g. to /usr/libexec/vpnc
and /usr/libexec/vpnc-disconnect) and install the symlinks in /usr/bin.
But the consolehelper wrapper is optional, so if the real binaries are moved,
and the user doesn't have the -consoleuser subpackage installed, the
binaries will not be in $PATH. So it seems -consoleuser subpackage would
need to be merged with the main package.
I think the changes of this magnitude need to be made a by a maintainer…
