Is it normal that in the same time filesystem package provide
/usr/{lib,bin} etc as directory whereas the pre script transform it as
symlink (according
<A HREF="http://sophie.zarb.org/rpms/696f0450c6b9baa8dcf088602f19c810/files">http://sophie.zarb.org/rpms/696f0450c6b9baa8dcf088602f19c810/files</A>).
For me they must be symlinks in the filesystem rpm.
