I'm betting that a %post-install script creates a symlink. Perhaps
a command like "rpm -q --scripts pkg.name.rpm" (if memory serves)
will tell you what you want to know? You're looking for a command
that creates a symlink. It's been awhile since I was intimate with
RPM, but symlinks created by a post-install script aren't considered
(or weren't at one time) as part of the RPM, although a properly-crafted
remove script (executed when you "rpm -e pkg.name.rpm") will remove
symlinks created when the RPM was installed.
