We have code base with many RPMs. One RPM has a binary named foo. Foo is a bit like busybox, a binary that we connect to with many symbolic links. There is one special function that, for permissions reasons (sticky bit), we COPY the binary to, call it 'bar', when installing a different RPM.
The problem I've encountered since we started working with rocky 8, is that yum recognizes that bar and foo are identical (it keeps some kind of hash in a .build_id subdirectory), throws an error, and fails. I can use 'rpm -i --force my.rpm' but I'd prefer not to.
Have I missed a yum/dnf option?
Thank you, Mike
I tried a hard link but that throw a different error. I can use RPM directly but want proper package management.
