Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Due to a bug in the tomcat6 spec file, the catalina.out file's md5sum, size, and mtime attributes were compared to the file's attributes at installation time. Because the values of these attributes change after the service is started, the "rpm -V" command previously failed. With this update, the attributes mentioned above are ignored in the RPM verification, and the catalina.out file now passes the verification check.

Comment 2 Coty Sutherland 2016-04-14 19:10:06 UTC 
I think it's probably a good idea to ignore changes to the log file :) This is a very easy/simple fix using RPM's %verify directive (http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html) in the spec. The output format can be reviewed online (http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm/s1-rpm-verify-output.html); I'll remove the size, md5sum, and mtime checks and leave the user/group ones in place.
