The bug is that somebody modifies installed non-config files without using the packaging system. It's called "to mess around in a system". Admins, who do that, often forget what files they've changed, and "rpm -Va" only reports the changed checksum, not a diff. And what behaviour would you prefer during a dist-upgrade? That RPM refuses to install new binaries, because the user has replaced them with modified files? -- Fedora-maintainers mailing list Fedora-maintainers@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers -- Fedora-maintainers-readonly mailing list Fedora-maintainers-readonly@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-maintainers-readonly
