Hi,

Am running fc4. While updating rpms some configuration files are saved
as .rpmnew but looking at mod time they are old than the conf file. An
example:

-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8151 Oct  8 06:00 /etc/clamd.conf
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8156 Oct  3 06:51 /etc/clamd.conf.org
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 8164 Sep 17 13:44 /etc/clamd.conf.rpmnew

Well, I wanted to know if:
1} .rpmnew is the conf file which should have been installed as
  the default conf with the new/updated rpm

2} OR Is it the old conf file moved as .rpmnew.

If it is latter then it should be named .rpmold else the mod time should
be newer than the old conf file.

It's quite confusing.

.rpmnew is the conf file that would have been installed, but the .conf file is altered from standard .rpmsave is the .conf file that was removed for safekeeping before installing the new and necessary .conf file
