Is this issue why I'm getting the following error while trying to copy node_modules/express?

Error: EEXIST, file already exists '../mime/cli.js'

hey @majgis, i'm not really sure about your case.
i'm gonna update this module this week and will try to reproduce the issues described here :)

i'll let you guys know.

For the record, I encountered the issue.
I found a workaround by not creating those ./bin syslinks as I don't need them in the package.
Run npm install --only=prod --no-bin-links before building rpm.
