Error: Transaction test error:
  file /usr/lib/.build-id/90/9d0b5007ba7bf20d9e4205235b3fe5a9f3309e from install of electron-mail-5.1.3-1.x86_64 conflicts with file from package insomnia-2022.7.5-1.x86_64

Reproduce

1. install Insomnia core
2. dnf install ./electron-mail-5.1.3-linux-x86_64.rpm
3. above error happens

Expected behavior

The files /usr/lib/.build-id/* should not be included in the RPM.

Work around

Install via rpm directly, with --force flag:

$ sudo rpm -iU --force ./electron-mail-5.1.3-linux-x86_64.rpm

Fix

There is a way to disable generating .build-id in the RPM spec file: build_id_links

I don't know if there is a way to integrate that into electron-builder.
