If a file that is marked as a config file with the noreplace option (this is defined by the package builder) is different from the file in the previous version of the packages, the following rule applies: - If the file on the system was not modified (so, it's exactly the same as the one of the previous version of the package), the file is (silently) replaced by the new version. - If the file on the system was modified, that file is left untouched and the version included in the new package is stored with an .rpmnew suffix. I don't know if this explains this particular situation, maybe it's also a packaging error, but if there is no .mc.rpmnew file this either means the .mc file in the package didn't change or the .mc file on the system was unchanged (or both). -- -- Jos Vos <jos@xxxxxx> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
