Description Suraj Patil 2018-03-14 11:22:47 UTC
Description of problem:

Virt-who configuration files /etc/virt-who.conf and /etc/virt-who.d/template.conf  get overwritten after the updating or downgrading the package. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):  
virt-who-0.19-8.el7_4.noarch


How reproducible:
Make some changes in virt-who configuration files /etc/virt-who.conf and /etc/virt-who.d/template.conf and after that update the virt-who package.


Actual results:
/etc/virt-who.conf and /etc/virt-who.d/template.conf both files get overwritten.

Expected results:
It should not be overwritten as they are the configuration files.

Additional info:

In the .spec file of virt-who rpm package on the line no. 141 it has.

 %{_sysconfdir}/virt-who.conf

which is the problem: the '%config(noreplace)' is missing.
