I'm a flailing at cluefulness here. Maybe someone can set me straight. I run "yum" nightly (as as service), but I see a lot of "*.rpmnew" files being left around. What's most bizarre is that the original RPM files haven't been changed, and often the two files have the same size, contents (and hence MD5 signature), permissions, ownership, etc. Even the same file modification date in most cases. So why do they get left behind? # cd /etc/security # ls -ltr chroot* -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 Aug 1 05:18 chroot.conf.rpmnew -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 82 Aug 1 05:18 chroot.conf # diff -c chroot.conf.rpmnew chroot.conf # mv chroot.conf.rpmnew chroot.conf # Thanks, -Philip
