I noticed a strange thing on my CentOS 4 workstations today.
Immediately after installing the tetex suite (tetex-xdvi tetex-dvips
tetex tetex-latex tetex-afm tetex-fonts), "rpm -V tetex" reports some
package inconsistencies:
rpm -V tetex
........C /usr/bin/amstex
........C /usr/bin/bamstex
........C /usr/bin/bplain
........C /usr/bin/lambda
........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/amstex.fmt
........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/bamstex.fmt
........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/bplain.fmt
........C /usr/share/texmf/web2c/cont-en.efmt
etc..
After investigating, it appears that these files belong to tetex and
rpm -V inconsistencies appear only after I also install tetex-latex.
The strange thing about it is that I can't find the definition of "C"
in the rpm manual page. Moreover, the entire field where C is printed
on CentOS is not printed on RHEL4. I tried looking at the differences
in the source RPMs for RHEL 4 and CentOS 4 but couldn't find anything.
Any thoughts on the rpm issue?
