time, maybe because they usually get installed at the same time with
the system installer.
As long as the directories have the same ownership and permissions,
there is no conflict. Multiple packages owning a single directory is
not uncommon, and the case is covered in the packaging guidelines:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#_file_and_directory_ownership
"
To be specific, you do not need to require a package for the sole fact
that it happens to own a directory that your package places files in. If
your package already requires that package for other reasons, then your
package should not also own that directory.
Thanks for the reply, the problem was solved after reading:
When co-owning directories, you must ensure that the ownership and
permissions on the directory match in all packages that own it.
The install script was setting a slightly different permission.

(Yes, the grammar there isn't the best.)
