Thanks for the reply. In the process of answering your questions, I
found the actual problem.
I had a file with destination: /etc/init.d/myfile
When rpm tried to create /etc/init.d it complained it was owned by
package chkconfig-1.3.30.2-2.e15.x86
Looking more closely I noted that on CentOS (5.5, 5.6 and 6.0)
/etc/init.d is actually a link to /etc/rc.d/init.d rather than a real
directory. In other Linux distributions I have used such as Debian,
Ubuntu, Gentoo, /etc/init.d is a real folder.
I simply changed the destination to /etc/rc.d/init.d/myfile and now the
rpm installs as expected.
However, I am not convinced that adding the intermediary directories
into the RPM is correct behaviour. If you run 'rpm -ql' on standard
CentOS packages, they do not include them.
Bug 12305 seems concerned that the intermediary folders would not get
deleted when an rpm is uninstalled, but you would not want system
folders such as /etc deleted. And non-system folders which you create
yourself can be set up so they get deleted using something like:
install(DIRECTORY DESTINATION /opt/myfolder)
