Look into this directory to know if you need to keep these files, then decide. There is no general rule, beyond "it depends".
PS what is weird is here it is a regular file, not a directory:
Code:
Metadata-Version: 1.1
Name: isc
Version: 2.0
Summary: Python functions to support BIND utilities
Home-page: https://www.isc.org/bind
Author: Internet Systems Consortium, Inc
Author-email: info@isc.org
License: MPL
Description: UNKNOWN
Platform: UNKNOWN
Requires: ply
PPS I upgraded bind (using another method: slapt-get -i bind, but in this case slapt-get acts as a front end of upgradepkg), got the same warning and now:
Code:
didier[~]$ tree /usr/lib64/python3.9/site-packages/isc-2.0-py3.9.egg-info
├── PKG-INFO
├── SOURCES.txt
├── dependency_links.txt
└── top_level.txt
0 directories, 4 files
didier[~]$
I'd assume that in the old bind isc-2.0-py3.9.egg-info was a regular file but in the new one it is a directory.
As upgradepkg makes a pre-installation of the new package before removing the old one, it replaced the symlink by a directory. But when removing the old package it checked if isc-2.0-py3.9.egg-info included files installed after the old version, and it does, hence the warning.
In French we call that a corner case
tl;dr: keep the files in this directory
