Assuming than an offending directory is really used only by gallery2 then something like that in a %pre script of a replacement package should work (not really deeply tested): if [ ! -h /offending/directory -a -d /offending/directory ] ; then rm -rf /offending/directory fi and then cpio should not have problems. Only that means that if a transaction will be not completed then you may be left with a damage (but this is always an issue). The trouble is compouded by yum which does first an installation of a new package and a cleanup phase only later.
