From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5 Description of problem: I wanted to check the kernel RPM using rpm --verify: [root@greyhound ~]# rpm --verify kernel ........C /boot/System.map-2.6.9-11.EL ........C /boot/config-2.6.9-11.EL ........C /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-11.EL ........C /boot/System.map-2.6.9-22.EL ........C /boot/config-2.6.9-22.EL ........C /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.EL ........C /boot/System.map-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL ........C /boot/config-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL ........C /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.9-22.0.1.EL The question is: what does the 'C' mean? This flag is not explained in the rpm manpage. I imagine it has not been completed yet? There it says: <<< quote <<< The format of the output is a string of 8 characters, a possible attribute marker: c %config configuration file. d %doc documentation file. g %ghost file (i.e. the file contents are not included in the package payload). l %license license file. r %readme readme file. from the package header, followed by the file name. Each of the 8 characters denotes the result of a comparison of attribute(s) of the file to the value of those attribute(s) recorded in the database. A single "." (period) means the test passed, while a single "?" (question mark) indicates the test could not be performed (e.g. file permissions prevent reading). Otherwise, the (mnemonically emBoldened) character denotes failure of the corresponding --verify test: S file Size differs M Mode differs (includes permissions and file type) 5 MD5 sum differs D Device major/minor number mismatch L readLink(2) path mismatch U User ownership differs G Group ownership differs T mTime differs >>> quote >>> Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.3.3-11_nonptl How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: see above Actual Results: see above Expected Results: see above Additional info: see above
