To prevent this from conflicting with other Electron based apps, it's necessary to omit all the symlinks, to achieve this, Electron-builder uses fpm to have an easier way to build linux apps.
The solution is to tell Electron-builder to have some flags on fpm while building the rpm to prevent creating those symlinks.
According to Electron-builder documentation and fpm documentation this option is --rpm-rpmbuild-define "_build_id_links none".
This PR solved #97 & #276
