      NVRA of the package with the bug:

      mstflint-4.30.0-1.el10.x86_64

      mstflint-4.30.0-1.el9.x86_64

      Steps to reproduce

      1. dnf -y install mstflint
      2. ls -l /usr/lib64/libmtcr_ul.a
        lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 21 Nov 17 19:00 /usr/lib64/libmtcr_ul.a -> mstflint/libmtcr_ul.a
      3. true < /usr/lib64/libmtcr_ul.a
        bash: /usr/lib64/libmtcr_ul.a: No such file or directory

      Expected results

      No broken symlinks in packages.

      libmtcr_ul.a SHOULD NOT be packaged. Packaging static libraries is discouraged per Fedora Packaging Guidelines:
      https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/packaging-guidelines/#packaging-static-libraries

      A related more general issue: Packaging for CentOS Stream should not be creative or original. Almost always it should follow Fedora. The package should have been updated in Fedora first. See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2321324 .

      Actual results

      /usr/lib64/libmtcr_ul.a exists, and it's a symlink pointing to a non-existent file.
