Yes, it is. Everything about a directory must match for dnf/rpm to 
allow it to be created by multiple packages.

In this case it seems the initscripts package you use has the wrong 
permissions for /var/lib as it shall be 0755, not 0750. AFAICT, the 
recipe in meta has created /var/lib with mode 0755 since the creation 
of /var/lib/urandom was introduced in 2012 so it must be something in 
one of your layers that change the behavior of the initscripts package.
