and that's the end of it. the rpm DOES include an ehtry for /usr/bin, but I didn't think that was inherently erronneous.
Anyone know how to make this work?
It's an upstream bug, 3rd party packages should never own dirs like /usr/bin/.
What I personally do it extract the rpm (using file-roller), and execute <EXTRACTED_DIR>
