The symlinks for /usr/bin/letsencrypt and /usr/bin/certbot are created with the -r option to ln, which creates links relative to the buildroot, not the install root, so they look like: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Apr 30 13:10 /usr/bin/certbot -> ../../../../../../usr/bin/certbot-3 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 33 Apr 30 13:10 /usr/bin/letsencrypt -> ../../../../../../usr/bin/certbot There's no need for this (and it can be wrong when an RPM is manually extracted to a temp directory for examination for example). In fact, they don't even need a path (since they're linking to something in the same directory). Just doing: ln -s certbot %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/%{oldpkg} ln -s certbot-3 %{buildroot}%{_bindir}/certbot would work fine. Reproducible: Always
In addition, the symlinks in /usr/share/doc/certbot are broken, pointing to non-existing files: [root@fedora ~]# ls -l /usr/share/doc/certbot totalt 4 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 9 maj 21.45 CHANGELOG.md -> certbot/CHANGELOG.md -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 524 22 maj 02.00 README.fedora lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 9 maj 21.45 README.rst -> certbot/README.rst As are the one in /usr/share/doc/python3-certbot and /usr/share/doc/python3-acme: [root@fedora ~]# ls -l /usr/share/doc/python3-certbot totalt 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 9 maj 21.45 CHANGELOG.md -> certbot/CHANGELOG.md lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 9 maj 21.45 README.rst -> certbot/README.rst [root@fedora ~]# ls -l /usr/share/doc/python3-acme totalt 0 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 9 maj 21.45 CHANGELOG.md -> certbot/CHANGELOG.md lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 9 maj 21.45 README.rst -> certbot/README.rst I suspect the intention was that /usr/share/doc/certbot/CHANGELOG.md and /usr/share/doc/certbot/README.rst should have been the regular files, i.e. not symlinks, and that the ones in the python package should point to those, e.g. the ../ is missing: lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 20 9 maj 21.45 CHANGELOG.md -> ../certbot/CHANGELOG.md lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 18 9 maj 21.45 README.rst -> ../certbot/README.rst
