RPM package for mesos 1.0.0 doesn't update older versions

[bianchettim]

I'm running Mesos on CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511, trying to update the mesos rpm using yum from mesos-0.28.2-2.0.27.centos701406.x86_64 to mesos-1.0.0-2.0.89.centos701406.x86_64 I get the following error:
[...]

Short answer : Run rm -rf /usr/include/mesos/slave and the try to install
mesos again and it should work

RPM has problem with replacing a directory with symlink. The standard solution is to add scriptlet to package that moves/deletes the directory. The example scriptlet moves the directory out of the way but might work to just do "rm -rf".

I encountered same issue with CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511, and updating mesos from 0.28.0 to 1.1.0

rm -rf /usr/include/mesos/slave works for me.
