rpm installation removing all symlinks on update

[53c70r]

Tested on but not limited to Fedora32(probably affecting all rpm related distros):
After installation symlinks to all binary files get set correct but after package update all symlinks will be deleted leaving all binary files in place without any references.

This results in unusable binaries from the terminal environment.

I think I have found the issue: in the prerm script, all bins get removed, which is expected when uninstalling Metasploit. However, the prerm script of the old version gets invoked when upgrading, right at the end (after the postinstall script of the new version). So, the symlinks get successfully created, but deleted directly afterwards.

Is this ok [y/N]: y
