Sounds like pcp-conf is broken, either there is a dependency missing or it
should not contain a subdirectory of a not packaged directory. Our build
scripts try to find such errors, but looks like that checks didn't worked here.

If a directory in the path is missing, we don't know which owner and
permissions this should have, and random ownership and permissions could lead
to a security problem.

So create-dirs-from-rpmdb is correct here to refuse to create a directory with
unknown ownership and permissions.
