Only if /usr/bin, the directory itself, is created by the package, in addition to whatever the package installs in /usr/bin.
Yes, exactly. And the apache RPM does not create the /var/www/cgi-bin directory directly by having %dir /var/www/cgi-bin. It's only created, because it contains files which are in /var/www/cgi-bin.
This is a packaging bug. Apache is the primary owner of /var/www/cgi-bin, so it should install this directory, instead of having it implicitly created.
packages. This way, removing the last font package that installs some font subdirectory of /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts will also remove the font subdirectory itself.
Yes, and this makes sense. However, because of this, there can be no package which has a Requires: /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts, because this directory isn't provided or owned by a package.
That's incorrect. Because the packages explicitly install this directory, any package will satisfy this dependency.
Try it, it actually works as advertised.
Would you accept a patch to the spec which makes this a conditional requirement, so that packages built on a Mandrake machine do not have this?
I'll accept a patch that checks for a Mandrake distro, and makes the necessary adjustments. You should be able to come up with something that does not depend on an external flag, and detects a Mandrake distro automatically.
