Do not use /etc/init.d for SysV init scripts for RPM-based linux distros. The directory should be /etc/rc.d/init.d. When using /etc/init.d and no chkconfig or initscripts packages are installed first, this package was creating /etc/init.d as a directory. Unfortunately, if you wanted to later install a package that brought in the chkconfig package, the RPM transaction would fail because it assumes it can create a symlink in /etc/init.d when a directory already exists. A bug was filed for this here: osquery/osquery#7949
