As corrupt rpm packages tend to get people edgy, here's the short summary of what this was about:
kernel-tools.spec had inherited a manual perf-debuginfo sub-package from the kernel.spec, but unlike the kernel itself it has automatic debuginfo generation enabled. These silently clash and cause said debuginfo package tobe written twice, the result being a timing dependent coin-toss.
So the rpm bug is that it doesn't cleanly error out on this situation, but it's nothing more serious than a funny little corner-case with packages doing their own debuginfo sub-packaging.
