But congratulation should went to Jeff as he programmed the runtime check into rpm 4.4.6 to avoid orphan directories...just another reason for accepting bug #174307 ;-) There are even many more orphan directories and symbolic links, but they are unfortunately not EasyFix. Some of these, I recognized and tracked down in Bugzilla, too: "Lots of /usr/share/locale/* are not owned by a package": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=191581 "Move /etc/firmware to /lib/firmware": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193237 "Packaged symbolic link to an unpackaged file": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193475 "Move /lib/modules/<version>/{build,source} to -devel package": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193477 And as already said, I believe there are many many more. Just install latest RPM version from www.wraptastic.org/pub/rpm-4.4.x/ and enter a `rpm -Va --nofiles | grep -v "Unsatisfied" | sort -u` in a terminal to see further orphans caused by insane packaging...
