Most of the rpm -Va output will be noise. If you see "........C" as the error status don't worry. This is a documentation problem for rpm and a SELinux configuration issue that the Fedora Core / Red Hat developers have not fixed, ref: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla-old/show_bug.cgi?id=120464 . You can also disregard "S.5....TC c" errors because configuration files when modified will have differing Size, MD5 and Mtime values compared to the spec.file. Do pay attention to "missing" error. You may need to reinstall a package to fix the problem.
