rpmpack: Unable to install the built rpm (without force)

Ive been trying to build an rpm using pkg_tar2rpm

when i go to install the rpm im seeing the following errors

Error: Transaction check error:
  file /opt from install of envoy-0:1.19.0-pre.noarch conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.8-2.el8.x86_64
  file /usr from install of envoy-0:1.19.0-pre.noarch conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.8-2.el8.x86_64
  file /usr/bin from install of envoy-0:1.19.0-pre.noarch conflicts with file from package filesystem-3.8-2.el8.x86_64

if i use rpm -i --force my.rpm it works - im wondering what im doing wrong (or not doing right) that is fooing the paths in the package

I can confirm that when using 3d6252945290ac5a55ebe5bc675ff9d49a4e6226 and setting use_dir_allowlist = True, that the RPMs now install without issue 🥳

I’ve verified the new RPM works in:

centos:7
registry.access.redhat.com/ubi8/ubi-minimal:8.5-204
the centos-based VM where I originally encountered the error
