Hi,
What's with the extra rpmnew files on an upgrade?
Some examples:
# md5sum /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf.rpmnew /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
7c8f8d809c5b618e1604207525161101 /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf.rpmnew
7c8f8d809c5b618e1604207525161101 /etc/pki/tls/openssl.cnf
...
Let me tell you about the `cmp` command. In my case:
# cmp /etc/yum.repos.d/rpmfusion-free.repo*
# cmp /usr/lib/security/classpath.security*
/usr/lib/security/classpath.security /usr/lib/security/
classpath.security.rpmnew differ: byte 1874, line 39
:-)
/var/lib/games/same-gnome.Small.scores.rpmnew
/var/log/mail/statistics.rpmnew
Not sure why we would ever need an rpmnew file for that: should these
be labelled as something other than config files?
Or perhaps not make .rpmnew files for empty config files.
Another one:
# md5sum /usr/share/info/dir.rpmnew /usr/share/info/dir
91ba35a21c163a55982bedaab076bc7f /usr/share/info/dir.rpmnew
0737290f14a0ce86986de276d1083783 /usr/share/info/dir
# wc -l /usr/share/info/dir.rpmnew /usr/share/info/dir
22 /usr/share/info/dir.rpmnew
2127 /usr/share/info/dir
2149 total
I didn't change this file. That's weird. Same case here:
...
It's actually a sort of database for the info command.
