What is the best way to create a symbolic link in a rpm

What is the best way to create a symbolic link in a rpm?

I created symbolic link in the %pre section in a .spec file but there
is an error during installation:

%pre server
%{_sbindir}/groupadd -r -g %{sshd_gid} sshd 2>/dev/null || :
%{_sbindir}/useradd -d /var/empty/sshd -s /bin/false -u %{sshd_uid} \
-g sshd -M -r sshd 2>/dev/null || :
ln -s -f /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2

# rpm -Uvh app_server-server-4.9.9-9.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
libcrypto.so.2 is needed by app_server-server-4.9.9-9

I think you need to do the symlink in your '%install' procedures, and provide
the link as a file in '%files' list. Also, don't use absolute links if you can
avoid it. Use something like this:


ln -s -f libcrypto.so.0 /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.2

And which OS is this? Shouldn't libcrypto.so.2 be in your openssl or
openssl-compat packages?
