The package does not complete installation as a result, so this is most
definitely a bug that should be reopened. Leaving a package in a
partially-installed state is never the right thing to do.
The rpm package was installed as an alien dependency, and this error was
encountered when doing an upgrade. To the best of my knowledge, I've
never used alien, so there really shouldn't have been anything in the
rpm database. Even if there was, refusing to complete the installation
is still not the correct thing to do.
I have uninstalled both alien and rpm until this bug is addressed, since
I could not get the package to complete installation at all.
