Yum question

[Paul W. Frields]

While working on a new package for FE:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=170165

I've run into a goofiness that I can't figure out how to resolve
properly.  When I build this package, the "main" package includes a
specific %dir:

%dir %{_libdir}/nautilus-sendto/plugins/

The subpackages with the plugins write files into that directory.  When
I do "yum remove nautilus-sendto\*" to remove the packages after testing
functionality, I get these messages:

= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =

Have I made a spec boo-boo, or is this a yum bug?  Apologies if this is
too rudimentary a problem, it's only my third package.
