I should have known it couldn't be that easy.  :-/

I believe that's the code for the symlink->directory direction.  The state of
the art for directory->symlink seems to be:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/rpm/+bug/633636/comments/3
as linked to in bug:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=447156

And it's god awful.  How much beer do I have to buy Panu to make this work
properly?

You could just say "screw anaconda installs" and just use `rm -rf`.  Though I
tried that once, in *EPEL* even, and it only took a week for someone to
complain. :-(

Any chance you could just use an Alias in the apache config?  Then you can just
delete the directory and not muck around with making yum happy.
