You aren't missing anything. The scriptlet doesn't work, as the transaction is checked by dnf before rpm scriptlets even happen. The best workaround is to just _not_ change directories to symlinks or vice versa. How to actually do that depends on the package, though. Given the recent Change Proposal to hard-link duplicate files, maybe the simplest option is to just make the symlinks into duplicate directory copies. I don't know why that documentation page still exists; I've never been able to get it to work as documented, and it's been that way for a long time: https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1139 > I documented my current attempts on bugzilla: > https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2384303 > > Any hints how to proceed would be appreciated. > > Jos > > On 7/29/25 1:50 PM, Karolina Surma wrote: > > On 7/29/25 13:33, Jos de Kloe wrote: > >> As these symlinks have been generated by an earlier install of the > >> same package, an upgrade should be able to replace them I think. > >> So this seems an rpm bug to me. > >> > >> Is there anything I can do as eccodes packager to fix this? > >> > > > > Hi, > > > > It looks like a case described here: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en- > > US/packaging-guidelines/Directory_Replacement/ > > > > Cheers, > > Karolina > > > -- Elliott -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
