I guess I was looking for some input on the bigger question: Is this a
packaging error that needs to be fixed, or is it expected from normal

A component of tetex regenerates the .map files when it is installed.
Because of this, the .map files are marked as configuration files, even
though most people will never touch them. The output you see is normal.
Ah, so when the update removes the older version, it can't remove the
.map files because it can't be sure that the user didn't customize them
in some way, is that it?
I'm not used to seeing this situation--most updates seem to handle
updating their config files cleanly, unless I actually do modify
something of course.
So the warnings and .rpmnew files are normal and not bugs.
The two are not mutually exclusive; it may not be a bug, but it maybe
could be handled differently. A "normal warning" often indicates a
design problem at some level.
Thanks for the help.
