Prior to filesystem-1.1-16, /media used to be a symlink to /run/media but this was
replaced with a directory. The RPM upgrade operation generally worked when the /media
symlink is a dangling link, which is commonly the case, however not always the case.
And when the /media symlink is indeed properly pointing to a real /run/media, RPM has a
known limitation where it is not possible to replace an active symlink with a directory,
and thus the RPM transation fails.
To workaround this, a %pretrans scriptlet must run to test and remove the symlink
before RPM attempts to install the new directory.
