This still looks wrong.

Strange.

This is caused by use of the %ghost directive in the %files
section of the .spec file:
%files -n dpm-copy-server-mysql
%{_libdir}/dpm-mysql/dpmcopyd
%ghost %{_sbindir}/dpmcopyd
%doc %{_libdir}/dpm-mysql/dpmcopyd.8*
%ghost %{_mandir}/man8/dpmcopyd.8*
Apparently %ghost marks those files as belonging to the package but
doesn't include them in the package. Thus, they aren't part of the cpio
archive. Common use-case for this seems to be log-files - such that they
are removed on package removal.
Anyhow, those lines look like a bug to me:
%doc %{_libdir}/dpm-mysql/dpmcopyd.8*
%ghost %{_mandir}/man8/dpmcopyd.8*
And the other question now is: Should `dnf provides` include ghost files
in its output?
I mean, the package really doesn't provide those ghost files ...
Best regards
