On a fresh install of Fedora 23, the very first update to the system brings in java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 1:1.8.0.71-1.b15.fc23. The installation of this produces this error: warning: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.71-1.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre/lib/security/java.security created as /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.71-1.b15.fc23.x86_64/jre/lib/security/java.security.rpmnew Average users will never see this error, as this is not reported in the graphical update utilities. I would argue that this is a security vulnerability - the file in question is a java security policy (as I understand it), and it is not being applied which leaves the users potentially vulnerable to any risks mitigated by this policy. This is on a freshly installed F23 system, on which no modifications have been made. The very first update on the system should not produce *any* .rpmnew files, the least of which a java security file. This file is not written to in the normal operation of the system, so it should not even produce the .rpmnew file in the first place. I do not know if this is a bug against the packaging of java-1.8.0-openjdk-headless.x86_64 1:1.8.0.71-1.b15.fc23, or if dnf can't process this transaction correctly.
The right file is copied over; check the contents of the java.security files after install. # The pretrans lua scriptlet prevents an unmodifiedk ava.security # from being replaced via an update. It gets created as # java.security.rpmnew instead. This invalidates the patch of # JDK-8061210 of the January 2015 CPU, JDK-8043201 of the # July 2015 CPU and JDK-8141287 of the January 2016 CPU.

Assigning to Jiri to look at it.
Yes the bug is https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1183793 I time stmaped the java.security today. Maybe it will magicaly fix the issue as it did for repcked policies. But I doubt, and generally I dont know simple way out. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 1183793 ***
I can't see that bug as it is restricted to internal Red Hat users. Can you keep this bug open for Fedora until it is corrected and tested?
Well, yes. Problem is, that I don know solution for now. Every solution which crossed my mind is close to be unmaintainable (as current md5sum list...). So this bug may be lingering open around for pretty long time. Sorry for inconvenience.
This bug is getting slightly out of hand.

Hello. My apologise. I'm aware of this misbehaviour (it happens only under some circumstances [actually in deep past]) And I don't know the cure. If you remove all old, unsused /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk* (all except latest) AND inside the latest one remove any rpmnew/rpmsave/rpmwhatever files, you will never see this again.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.

I tried to do that and it happened again recently: Scriptlet output: 1 warning: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-3.b16.fc25.x86_64/jre/lib/security/java.security created as /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-3.b16.fc25.x86_64/jre/lib/security/java.security.rpmnew
These messages occur on dnf transaction, here is the most recent one: Scriptlet output: 1 warning: /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-4.b16.fc25.x86_64/jre/lib/security/java.security created as /usr/lib/jvm/java-1.8.0-openjdk-1.8.0.111-4.b16.fc25.x86_64/jre/lib/security/java.security.rpmnew But directories does not contain rpmnew or rpmsave, so not sure why this message occurred.

Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
