To make sure this works out on updates there is a hack in the rpm of this era. rpmlib(X-CheckUnifiedSystemdir) is used to ensure that this hack is actually present in the rpm used to install/upgrade to these Fedora releases. The issues you are experiences are artifacts of this hack. The "right" butr not very convenient solution is to use the native rpm version of the distribution you are using. As an alternative you can add the hack to your rpm or - if you never do upgrades - add the patch Panu provided to trick the distribution into believing that it is installed with the properly patched rpm.
