Pulp

We got the below error when upgrading to latest the 3.6.0-1 TASK [pulp_common : Set group on all files in '/var/lib/pulp'] ********************************************************* fatal: [pulp3-1]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "gid": 0, "group": "root", "mode": "0777", "msg": "/var/lib/pulp already exists as a link", "owner": "root", "path": "/var/lib/pulp", "size": 13, "state": "link", "uid": 0}

The reason is /var/lib/pulp includes all packages and is over 3TB in our case. We create a link /var/lib/pulp pointing to a large file system before running the installer. As the result, it fails because /var/lib/pulp is not a directory. It will be better to check if /var/lib/lib/pulp exist. Only create the directory if it doesn't exist as a link.
