From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040115 Epiphany/1.0.7 Description of problem: Parted currently owns /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages, which is also owned by python. A user may choose to remove parted from his/her system, and rpm would then try (unnecessarily) to remove said directory. Granted, should the user uninstall all Python packages from the system, if parted is then removed the directory would be left behind, but this seems even more unlikely than the first scenario. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): parted-1.6.3-32 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -ql parted Actual Results: /usr/lib/python2.3/site-packages listed as owned by parted Expected Results: It should not be Additional info:
No, other packages will have an ownership on the directory as well and thus keep it from getting removed. But parted needs to own it so that if it's installed when python isn't, the directory will get removed when you remove the parted package.
