filebeat clashes with chkconfig under Rocky Linux 9 (redhat like distrib)

[Neurozone]

During its install on Rocky 9, filebeat creates /etc/init.d and drops a file into it.
This is preventing chkconfig from installing correctly.
The package chkconfig expects /etc/init.d not to exist, in order to create a synlink in its place.

This happens on Rocky 9 and leaves the setup in a wrong state, which is reported as an error by 'dnf check'.

The init.d scripts should not be needed for recent Rocky/RHEL versions.

Extract from redhat kb:

The /etc/init.d directory was created in system during the installation of some third-party applications Later on when installing chkconfig package, the system attempts to create a symbolic link /etc/init.d and point to /etc/rc.d/init.d As /etc/init.d/ is already existed as a directory, the installation fails due to unable to create the symbolic link

This still seems to be an unsolved problem. We just ran into it.
