RPM How I Loathe Thee

Keywords: #fedora #redhat #rpm

Let me count the ways, here’s #2 (see the previous post on yum for #1)….

[root@vps0 security]# md5sum access.conf*
1ab9971e4ec0682b89aaff29fea6de9e  access.conf
1ab9971e4ec0682b89aaff29fea6de9e  access.conf.rpmnew
[root@vps0 security]#

Why the hell is it creating a .rpmnew file for an IDENTICAL *CONFIG* file? Hell even the (modification) timestamps are identical!
