You are likely using rpm > 4.4.2.x.y.x <> rpm 4.4.6/4.4.7 that reinforce parent-dir/linkto dependency (good packaging habit want this, some packaging guideline also). See this https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:UnownedDirectories
If fileDir have not ownership from other package, well, it is of your package at minimum.
Put %dir fileDir in your spec file if you think this is correct for your packaging repo clousure.

Hi Guys,
I am using a new version of RPM. It looks like it acts in differently way than before.
What version ? New respect to what ?
If the directory of a file doesn't exist, it will fail the dependency instead of automatically creating the directory.

For example, abc.rpm contains a file fileDIR/fileNAME. If fileDIR is not installed, abc.rpm will fail the dependency check.

Is there any option for rpm or rpmlib to force it automaticaly create the directory?
