How is this functionally different from "yum reinstall nagios" ?
Yes, yum/rpm will currently replace files with identical copies but
functionally the extra copies are "just wasting reinstall time".
By doing "yum reinstall nagios" I don't have the the default config
files (i.e. nagios.cfg.rpmnew is not created). This happens only on
upgrades.
yum remove <pkg>
yum install <pkg>
should do what you want (backups of modified config files).
But that's unfortunately not always convenient if you need to remove
dependent packages for "yum remove" ?
I guess yum-shell may help in that case ?
c.f. what I wrote in
http://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-May/183321.html
This works in most cases (I haven't seen it fails in any real world
case, it's imaginable it fails in some stateful packages).
