Description:
It's common to have a /opt/mysql mountpoint which can be used for MySQL and related software.

In such a situation installation of the MEB RPM fails as it packs /opt/mysql

How to repeat:
Mount a filesystem on /opt/mysql and try to install meb with RPM.

Suggested fix:
No suggestion.

Hello  Daniël van Eeden,

Thank you for the bug report.
I tried with latest version of MEB, and installation was done without any issues. 
Probably this is fixed, please feel free to reopen this bug report if you encounter this issue again.

Thanks,
