Bug 2361481

Errors installing 'tmpwatch'

This is more than likely because in Fedora 42 the directories '/usr/sbin' and '/usr/bin' have been inufied, and there is no fc42 for tmpwatch in the repositories. Only fc41. See also 'https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin'.



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.install fresh Fedora 42
2.update all packages 'sudo dnf update'
3.install 'sudo dnf install tmpwatch'
Actual Results:
$ sudo dnf install tmpwatch

Additional Information:
There no no fc42 version of 'tmpwatch' in the repository of Fedora 42, but still the version of fc41!
The rpm 'tmpwatch-2.11-27.fc41.x86_64.rpm' will install the file 'tmpwatch' in '/usr/sbin/' and a link to this file in '/usr/bin'. What gives an error in Fedora 42.

'tmpwatch' is used in my cron job, and I use it daily. This is why I think it's a 'High' severity.
