The pyuno package creates symbolic links pointing to other files owned by the
package:
$ LC_MESSAGES=C rpm -qf /opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python{,-core}
file /opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python is not owned by any package
file /opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python-core is not owned by any package
$ file /opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python{,-core}
/opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python: symbolic link to python.sh
/opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python-core: symbolic link to
python-core-2.3.4
$ LC_MESSAGES=C rpm -qf
/opt/openoffice.org1.9.88/program/python{.sh,-core-2.3.4}
openofficeorg-pyuno-1.9.88-0
openofficeorg-pyuno-1.9.88-0
But doesn't remove them when updating (new OOo gets installed in a new directory
by default) or when erasing the package.
There are two possibilities to solve this issue:
1) check whether you really need to create this links using a %post-script.
It seems unnecessary to me since you create links to files that are installed by
the same package and these links reside in the same directory.
You can package symlinks with rpm - no need to create them afterwards.
But this check may be done because one can specify "--with-system-python" and in
this case the links would not point to an OOo provided one/would not be created
at all. But then again the specfile/epm control file could be modified depending
on the switch during the build...
In any case the symlinks should be owned by the package. So if you can not
package them for some reason, then you should take possibility number..
2) and specify the links using the %ghost directive.
With %ghost, the files are not installed, but when they exist, the package
claims ownership of these files (and will remove them when the package is
uninstalled)
