Not pretty either, but IMHO better than symlinking everything, something like this could work too: %pre # Can't overwrite dir with a symlink, so remove the old dir first on upgrades [ $1 -gt 1 -a -d /usr/share/pgsql/timezone ] && \ rm -rf /usr/share/pgsql/timezone || : ...and then drop the symlink in place just as usual in %files. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
