Thanks. I've already seen that. It doesn't seem to make any difference whether it's a bash scriptlet or a lua scriptlet, though; irrespective of what language is used to delete the symlink, the problem still occurs. > I haven't found an example for you to copy, but note there are still some > cases where changing symlinks to directories or vise versa won't work with > rpm (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=975909). I think deleting the symlink manually may be revealing a problem in rpm. It seems to treat /usr/share/javadoc/test-1/hello (from the old package) and /usr/share/javadoc/test/hello (from the new package) as the same thing. Since the new package is installing /usr/share/javadoc/test/hello, it therefore decides to 'skip' the old 'hello' file, rather than 'erase' it. I'm not sure yet why these two paths are considered to be the same...
