Yes, it is related to the recent rpm issue and unfortunately to another
issue that rpm when upgrades a package that had
/<directory-path>/
to a package that has
/<the same directory-path>
it happily deletes the directory if it is empty on cleanup of the old
package. And the same happened when update was the other way when the
openssh rpm got broken by the rpm build.
