sample spec-file for step (1)
This is a packaging problem. rpm does not permit (and never has) replacing a directory on disk with a symlink from the package. You need to fix what ever package is trying to do this. Meanwhile the strange name is a semi-colon followed by the install time in seconds. New to rpm-4.0.3 is installing with a temp name (i.e. the name followed by the semi-colon and time), and then renaming into place. How can I determine if a package has such a problem and which files are being affected? Have I to wait for bugreports of users who don't know why they have such files? A warning at installation-time would be highly appropriate. |
