Hi all,
I have a package that contains a subdirectory which is changed to a
symlink in the next release. When I upgrade, I get the following error:
Error: Transaction check error:
file /usr/share/symlinktest/dir/subdir from install of
symlinktest-1-2.fc25.x86_64 conflicts with file from package
symlinktest-1-1.fc25.x86_64
This is a classical rpm-packaging trap ;)
Any hints are welcome.
In short: This is a case rpm can't handle properly.
One common way to work around this is to resort to lua-scripts:

and

BTW: The origin of this isn't dnf, it's rpm.
