Description of problem: My FC3 x86_64 system has a lot of .rpmnew files, all created during installation of fedora-supplied updates. These .rpmnew files were created by 'rpm -F' even though they are not needed: in each case the old file and the new file are identical. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): RPM version 4.3.2 How reproducible: This happened a bunch of times: for each of the following packages. Each is installed in an i386 form and an x86_64 form. Each has been updated since the release of FC3: hal-0.4.2-1.FC3 kdebase-3.3.1-4.3.FC3 kdelibs-3.3.1-2.4.FC3 krb5-libs-1.3.6-2 mysql-3.23.58-14 pam-0.77-66.1 samba-common-3.0.10-1.fc3 Steps to Reproduce: Take an FC3 system with old versions of any of these packages (both the i386 version and the x86_64 version must be installed). Do an rpm -Fv new.i386.rpm new.x86_64.rpm Actual results: mysql-3.23.58-14 mysql-3.23.58-14 warning: /etc/my.cnf created as /etc/my.cnf.rpmnew [Notice also that the -v output does not describe the package in enough detail for the reader to realize there is one for i386 and one for x86_64] Expected results: No warning, no .rpmnew created.
