Description of problem:
Installation of dpkg (or packages which depend on it) fails on dpkg postinst:

How reproducible: $ rpm-ostree install dpkg
Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install dpkg on Fedora Silverblue
dpkg
Actual results: postinst scripts are incompatible with rpm-ostree. Error
Expected results: postinst stcripts are compatible with rpm-ostree. Success!
Additional info:
seems /var/lib/ and '/var/log doesn't exist , should require filesystem-3.12 ?
$ rpm -q filesystem filesystem-3.14-2.fc32.x86_64
/var/lib and /var/log exist, and I was able to touch the specific files myself, but my understanding was that the issue is that packages don't have direct access to those directories under Silverblue.
/var/lib
/var/log
rpm-ostree(dpkg.post)[14715]: touch: cannot touch '/var/log/dpkg.log': No such file or directory
Why ? script is here : https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/dpkg/blob/master/f/dpkg.spec#_244

Thanks, linked my report there
I see a similar issue with trying to install light, I've since switched to brightnessctl, which seems to work for my needs. But still see an issue.

Different pathing, so maybe this needs it's own issue?
