Description of problem:

The jenkins-webapp-1.651.3-2.fc25.noarch.rpm package contains two circular symlinks,
mina-core.jar -> mina-core.jar
jtidy.jar -> jtidy.ja

The 'mina-core' one at least is preventing jenkins from starting

WARNING: Failed startup of context w.{,file:/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/},/usr/share/jenkins/webroot
java.io.FileNotFoundException: /usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/mina-core.jar (Too many levels of symbolic links)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

jenkins-webapp-1.651.3-2.fc25.noarch.rpm

How reproducible:

I've cleaned the dnf cache several times, uninstalled and reinstalled jenkins, and it's always the same result.

I also downloaded and extracted the package to /tmp/

[root@at02 lib]# find /tmp/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib -xtype l
find: ‘/tmp/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/mina-core.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links
find: ‘/tmp/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/jtidy.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links

Steps to Reproduce:
1. dnf install jenkins
2. systemctl start jenkins
3. less /var/log/jenkins/jenkins.log
4. find /usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib -xtype l

Actual results:

find: ‘/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/mina-core.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links
find: ‘/usr/share/jenkins/webroot/WEB-INF/lib/jtidy.jar’: Too many levels of symbolic links

Expected results:

No errors
