I am not sure this is correct.

The two packages have (according to DNF/RPM) different permissions, owner or
group assigned to that particular directory.

I think it's reasonable for both of the packages to create the directory,
however they must match in perms/owner/group.  I would defer to shadow as the
correct source for this information.

It may be necessary though to change shadow's default to something more
reasonable if 'root:root' is not right.
