I'm sure that in the past it was difference here :|
And I'm sure that I found few specs where it was some issue wen /$ was used.
If I'll not back with some exact examples packages/specs (which I saw in
last 2-3 weeks) in next few days it will mean that I was wrong :/
Nevertheless I found many directories not owned by any packages on my
system as result of many upgrades.
There are few common causes of such issues:
- example gluster.spec: does owns many directories %{_libdir}/glusterfs and
by this on each upgrade to the next version is
left %{_libdir}/glusterfs/<prev.ver> with many empty directories inside.
Other case is that set of dependencies between subpackages are not correct
and by delete some packages ordering them during remove using dependencies
there are left some empty directories
- example libiscis.spec: sometimes it is bug in spec and exact directory is
not included in %files (not added %{_libdir}/iscis
BTW there are two iscsi client libraries in distribution and libiscsi
moves clashing library to %{_libdir}/iscis
Probably here is more common cases when after upgrade there is left some
not deleted files or directories.
