Thanks for the report! This seems to be a common problem for electron apps. There seems to be a fix for RPMs created with electron-builder, but not for those created with electron-forge.

Until this is fixed in electron-forge, it seems that you can either pass --force or --excludepath=/usr/lib/.build-id to the rpm-install command....
