drawio-desktop: rpm conflicts with signal-desktop

When attempting to install the latest rpm on fedora31, I ran into the following issue:

sudo rpm -ihv draw.io-x86_64-12.9.9.rpm

I’m curious what thos .build-id files are, and why they cross conflict. And if there is a way to change the rpm build process to address it. I don’t currently see where the rpm is built in the tree, but am happy to look into tweaking that if I can be pointed at it.

There seems to be conflicts also with Slack

as a workaround sudo rpm -i ./drawio-x86_64-20.3.0.rpm --excludepath /usr/lib/.build-id/ worked for me

Also getting the same issue with slack

The “sudo rpm -i --excludepath=/usr/lib/.build-id/ drawio-x86_64-21.1.2.rpm” did not work for me. I was still getting barks about the debug path.

“sudo rpm -i --force drawio-x86_64-21.1.2.rpm” worked for me.

I too got the same error message that @filariow saw.

On checking one of those, I could see this:

$ ls -l /usr/lib/.build-id/08/c585ec9ac3d4c22f3d3ac97e70593362a9e153
lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 35 Sep 21 23:00 /usr/lib/.build-id/08/c585ec9ac3d4c22f3d3ac97e70593362a9e153 -> ../../../../usr/lib/slack/libEGL.so

Thanks for the workaround @filariow!
