Expected results:
When rpm -V is 0 then rpm -Vv should be 0 too.

Heh, yup... the bug is about nine years old if not even older. Fixed upstream now, but I doubt it qualifies as a regression as it outdates even RHEL 2.1 :)

Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2013-03-07 14:21:28 UTC

Given how old the bug is and nobody else complaining... I dont think its worth the trouble fixing it in rhel-5 anymore. It's fixed in rhel-6 anyway.
