Description of problem: Running "rpm -V man-db" reports two errors for /var/cache/man: .M....G.. /var/cache/man The modification time is obviously going to change as files are added and removed from the cache, so "%verify (not mtime)" should be used in the file list to exclude the mtime from verification. The group flag seems to stem from the fact that the RPM file list marks it as root:root but /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf says root:man so tmpfiles tends to change it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): man-db-2.6.7.1-12.fc21.x86_64
Thanks Tom, M is the file's mode. You are right. /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/man-db.conf contains d /var/cache/man 2755 root man 1w Spec file has %attr(0755,root,root) %dir %{cache}
