I my humble opinion it is a bad RPM practice to have +1 package with the
same config file. In effect i am pretty sure you haven't marked them in the SPEC as %config,
because the RPM rule will not permit the installation of the second RPM. So the beaviour you describe
it is not due to RPM.
JMHO, YMMV
[cross post rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx, usenet group linux.redhat.rpm ]I have 3 specfiles for 3 [somehow related] packages, A, B, C.All 3 specfiles include same configfile /etc/abc_common.cfg.
When I remove package C, rpm -e removes file /etc/abc_common.cfg,
even though A and B are still installed. This breaks packages A and B.
