Issue

Description of problem: Because chkconfig is not installed by default any more in RHEL9, we are seeing issues when it's installed afterwards, when a 3rd party tool is already installed and created /etc/init.d directory, instead of the link to /etc/rc.d/init.d Because chkconfig is not able to decide what to do with this directory, the request here is to print a warning during the installation instead just a fail or pyton backtrace. Thus user can identify and fix the issue. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): chkconfig-1.20-2.el9.x86_64 RHEL9 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. simulate a faulty install of an init script in /etc/init.d: mkdir /etc/inid.d 2. yum install chkconfig 3. Actual results: Non understandable Error: — Installing: chkconfig x86_64 1.20-2.el9 ... Running transaction check Transaction check succeeded. Running transaction test Transaction test succeeded.

Failed: chkconfig-1.20-2.el9.x86_64 Failed: chkconfig-1.20-2.el9.x86_64 Error: Transaction failed — Expected results: An explicit warning from the preinstall script: "The /etc/init.d directory already exists, please check the content and remove it as it is in conflict with chkconfig" Of course, the real fix must done in the broken script, but a warning will help customer to identify the issue. Additional info: With detail output, we can identify the issue, but in a lot of data: ~~~ D: create 040755 1 ( 0, 0) 0 /etc/chkconfig.d D: Plugin: calling hook fsm_file_prepare in selinux plugin D: create 120777 1 ( 0, 0) 11 /etc/init.d;630dcf56 D: Plugin: calling hook fsm_file_prepare in selinux plugin fdio: 8 reads, 263 total bytes in 0.000847 secs error: unpacking of archive failed on file /etc/init.d: cpio: File from package already exists as a directory in system ~~~
