Maybe by an accident? These files are "precompiled" Python so as long as you have a corresponding .py file then you should not even notice during an execution that some files are gone. .... > missing /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/probeCard.pyc > missing /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/soundcard.pyc .... This seems to be an effect of a "cooperation" between yum and a way how that rpm package was put together. If you will try rpm -qf --scripts /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/probeCard.py then you will see, among other things, preuninstall scriptlet (using /bin/sh): if [ -d /usr/share/system-config-soundcard ] ; then rm -rf /usr/share/system-config-soundcard/*.pyc fi Why this was inserted there if 'system-config-soundcard' package owns these *.pyc files is a good guess. Likely some "hysterical raisins". Now yum does 'Update' and 'Cleanup', in that order, in a cleanup phase 'rm -rf ...' from the old package gets executed and you end up with missing files. Smells like a bugzilla time with reports about packaging. > missing /usr/lib/mozilla-1.7.13/chrome/overlayinfo/global/content A similar mechanism like above seems to in work here (but with mozilla/firefox packages there is even more fun :-).
