Issue
Description of problem:
Because chkconfig is not installed by default any more in RHEL9, we are seeing issues when it's installed afterwards, when a 3rd party tool is already installed and created /etc/init.d directory, instead of the link to /etc/rc.d/init.d
Because chkconfig is not able to decide what to do with this directory, the request here is to print a warning during the installation instead just a fail or pyton backtrace.
Thus user can identify and fix the issue.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
chkconfig-1.20-2.el9.x86_64
RHEL9
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. simulate a faulty install of an init script in /etc/init.d: mkdir /etc/inid.d
2. yum install chkconfig
3.
Actual results:

Expected results:
An explicit warning from the preinstall script:
"The /etc/init.d directory already exists, please check the content and remove it as it is in conflict with chkconfig"
Of course, the real fix must done in the broken script, but a warning will help customer to identify the issue.
