      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      When OCP wants to konflux-ship an image that installs network-scripts, the Konforma task fails. This runs oc image extract, which cannot deal with the wrong count of .. in the relative link:

      invalid symlink "/work/content/content-amd64/usr/share/man/man8/ifdown.8.gz" -> "../../../../../../../../usr/share/man/man8/ifup.8.gz"
      

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      We need to file an exception to be able to ship OCP 4.12 – 4.15.

      Another test case:

      podman run --rm -it registry.redhat.io/ubi8/ubi:latest
      dnf install network-scripts -y
      gunzip /usr/share/man/man8/ifdown.8.gz
      
      gzip: /usr/share/man/man8/ifdown.8.gz: Too many levels of symbolic links
      

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      initscripts-10.00.18-1.el8
      

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Always.

      Steps to reproduce

      podman run --rm -it registry.redhat.io/ubi8/ubi:latest
      dnf install network-scripts -y
      gunzip /usr/share/man/man8/ifdown.8.gz
      
      gzip: /usr/share/man/man8/ifdown.8.gz: Too many levels of symbolic links
      

      Expected results

      error

      Actual results

      no error
