+%_libdir expands to the given architecture's libdir. On i586 it's
+/usr/lib, on x86_64 it's /usr/lib64.
+
+Looking at the spec, I think you're doing it a bit wrong.
+
+It's in the %post for a start which is wrong. It should be done as part
+of package build, not install. Doing it during install will mean the
+files are not &quot;owned&quot; by the package so users cannot tell where they
+come from.
+
+You also then do things such as rm -rf on %postun but that doesn't
+actually check whether you are upgrading or removing. Remember that
+%postun is run when upgrading a package too (i.e. when the old version
+is removed).
+
+
+Also as you use %_libdir, your package cannot be noarch.
+
+If you want to use /usr/lib all the time then do so (if that's what the
+game binary expects) via %{_prefix}/lib not via %_libdir.
+
+Also your fdupes command seems to do nothing other than display
+duplicate information, not actually resolve anything. So I'd just remove
+it or add appropriate arguments to do hardlinking as needed. Unless this
+package has a particular problem with duplicated data, then I'd just
+kill it off completely.
+
+Hope that gives you some hints.
