What were you trying to do that didn't work?
We are trying to install an rpm (IBM TSM / Storage Protect backup client) with a required for /bin/ln via dnf.
dnf refuses to install the package as nothing provides /bin/ln. rpm install the packages without any issues.
Source of the package:
https://public.dhe.ibm.com/storage/tivoli-storage-management/maintenance/client/v8r1/Linux/LinuxX86/BA/v8125/8.1.25.0-TIV-TSMBAC-LinuxX86.tar
What is the impact of this issue to you?
We cannot use our automation to install the backup client and must build workarounds with rpm -Uvh instead of using dnf/repos.
Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:
Compose CentOS-Stream-10-20250226.0
dnf-4.20.0-11.el10.noarch
libdnf-0.73.1-7.el10.x86_64
