https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2050889 --- Comment #9 from Ben Beasley <code@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- I still don’t see how removing the %dir line doesn’t create a textbook case of an unowned directory[1]. > $ mock fedora-36-x86_64 --clean > $ mock -r fedora-36-x86_64 --enablerepo=local -i python3-hatchling-0.11.3-1.fc36.noarch.rpm > $ mock -r fedora-36-x86_64 --chroot 'rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/hatchling-0.11.3.dist-info/license_files' > […] > /usr/lib/python3.10/site-packages/hatchling-0.11.3.dist-info/license_files is not owned by any package > Also, without the explicit %dir line, the package still builds fine Agreed. Only unowned files are RPM build errors, so the package will build fine whether the %dir line is needed or not. > and after its uninstallation, there are no leftovers. We must have tested this differently. In my testing, the directory was indeed left behind after uninstallation.

The guidelines aren’t infallible, but isn’t that pretty much what this example[2] is about?
