Because the mlkit rpm is relocatable and because the mlkit-executable
needs to know about where on the file system the kit is installed, the
executable file /usr/bin/mlkit is generated in the post-installation
phase of the rpm-installation. Thus the file /usr/bin/mlkit is not
listed when executing ``rpm -ql mlkit'', although the file
/usr/bin/mlkit is on your system after an install.

Cheers,

Martin
