Description Andreas Piesk 2003-12-09 08:17:41 UTC 
From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; de-AT; rv:1.5) Gecko/20031027

Description of problem:
the JRE contains several files which are likely to be modified by
users, for instance:

/opt/IBMJava2-131/jre/lib/security/cacerts
/opt/IBMJava2-131/jre/lib/security/java.policy
/opt/IBMJava2-131/jre/lib/security/java.security

these files should be declared as %config(noreplace) in the package,
otherwise the files will be wiped out without any warning.

this applies to the SDK as well.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. install JRE
2. import certificate into keystore
3. update JRE

Based on looking at the spec file, since there is no previous version
to upgrade from, this looks good. Closing.
