Description of problem: # rpm -V system-config-rootpassword missing /usr/share/system-config-rootpassword/passwordDialog.pyc missing /usr/share/system-config-rootpassword/rootpassword_tui.pyc missing /usr/share/system-config-rootpassword/system-config-rootpassword.pyc This is really the same issue as bug 216471 but for a different package. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): system-config-rootpassword-1.1.9-1

Michal: This is most likely not a bug in system-config-rootpassword, but a corruption of the package in your installation. It could be caused by filesystem corruption, terminating rpm, etc., etc. Have you tried reinstalling the package? Does the problem still persist?

Preuinstall scriptlet in system-config-rootpassword used to do 'rm -f /usr/share/system-config-rootpassword/*.pyc' or equivalent. When updating with yum first a new package is getting installed and later the old one removed in a cleanup phase. This was removing all these *.pyc packages and you had all that "missing". As Python code was still there the thing still worked. This is actually explained in comments to bug 216471. As I see package scripts for system-config-rootpassword-1.1.10-1 are not doing that any longer. No idea if there could be yet some tools written in Python which could have the same issue. It was a while from the original report.

Thanks god it's no longer the case :) > When updating with yum first a new package is getting installed > and later the old one removed in a cleanup phase.

It was a while > from the original report. This was originally reported against F6, which is about to be EOLed. I can't see those snippets in F7 or later. Is this still an issue for you, that has to be solwed somehow or can I close the report?
