Hi all, I'm trying to change a symlink to a directory but it's not working. I've reduced the problem down to a simple test case. This package: http://richardfearn.fedorapeople.org/test/1-1/test.spec creates the following: * a directory /usr/share/javadoc/test-1 (named after the package version) * a file within the test-1 directory * /usr/share/javadoc/test, a symlink to test-1 In the next version: http://richardfearn.fedorapeople.org/test/1-2/test.spec the Javadoc directory is unversioned, so the 'test' symlink is now a directory (containing one file). As expected the 1-1 to 1-2 upgrade fails: file /usr/share/javadoc/test from install of test-1-2.fc20.noarch conflicts with file from package test-1-1.fc20.noarch So in the next version: http://richardfearn.fedorapeople.org/test/1-3/test.spec a %pretrans scriptlet deletes /usr/share/javadoc/test, if it's a symlink. However during the 1-1 to 1-3 upgrade, the old test-1 directory isn't deleted. The verbose rpm output from this upgrade: http://richardfearn.fedorapeople.org/test/1-3-upgrade.txt shows that rpm doesn't erase /usr/share/javadoc/test-1/hello. It does seem to try to erase the /usr/share/javadoc/test-1 directory, but can't because it still contains a file. Does anyone have any idea what's going on here?
