Comment 3 Jeff Bastian 2019-10-09 16:05:08 UTC
Verified with microcode_ctl-2.1-53.2.el7_7

First do a comparison with rpmdiff against the RHEL-7.8 version (see bug 1753541 for test results) and verify the contents are the same (excluding timestamp and documentation differences):

$ rpmdiff microcode_ctl-2.1-53.2.el7_7.x86_64.rpm microcode_ctl-2.1-55.el7.x86_64.rpm | grep -v -F -e '..........T' -e '/usr/share/man'
removed     PROVIDES microcode_ctl(x86-64) = 2:2.1-53.2.el7_7
added       PROVIDES microcode_ctl(x86-64) = 2:2.1-55.el7

Next run a sanity check on a system:
