All upgrade operations haev a 32 bit transaction id.
Files installed during a transaction are first created with the transaction
id suffixed and then renamed into place.
There's no reason I know of why you should not have been able to remove the file.

There are limits on both package and file size imposed by 32 bits used
to store the size. The 32bit integter is unsigned, so 4Gb should be the
limit. Internally, rpm uses a 64bit integer for file/package sizes, so
legacy compatibility when saving file/package sizes is the main
reason for the limitation. E.g. cpio cannot represent files >4Gb ...

Some element in that path does not exist. Likely /opt/var/spool/repackages.
You can eith create the directory, or disable re-packaging.
To disable, undefine (or set to 0) this macro
# If non-zero, all erasures will be automagically repackaged.
%_repackage_all_erasures 1

Yes the last number is the transaction id, and will be different for every \
transaction.
(aside)
The transaction id is a time stamp, seconds since the epoch. You really should
set your clock correctly; other wise transaction id's based on system time will be
meaningless.
