Description mike sheridan 2005-09-22 18:24:29 UTC 
This bug is against SLES9 SP2. We are not able to select SLES 9 as the
desired product. This is applicable to both 32bit and 64bit. 

During a SLES 9 SP1 to SP2 update the egenera-created 
softlink /sbin/mkinitrd -> /sbin/mkinitrd.egenera 
was overwritten with a real file when the mkinitrd rpm was upgraded.

Submitted by Linas Alinskas for Mike Sheridan per Jarin Stevens.

The SuSE Linux bugzilla is not for SLES bugs, we don't accept such reports.

If RPM overwrites your symlink, then you replaced a RPM maintained file, so
RPM is correct it doing so and has no other chance.
