docbook-simple.cat shows as being modified by rpm -V after a fresh install

Description of problem: After a fresh install running rpm -V shows /etc/sgml/docbook-simple.cat as being changed. Since it isn't marked as a config file this makes one worry when checking the integrity of the system using rpm -V. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 1.0-2.1.1 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm --force -U docbook-simple-1.0-2.1.1.noarch.rpm 2. rpm -V docbook-simple 3. Actual results: S.5....T /etc/sgml/docbook-simple.cat Expected results: No files being flagged. Additional info: docbook-slides has the same problem with /etc/sgml/docbook-slides.cat .
I think this issue is not necessary to be fixed in current release, I will fix this with %config(noreplace) of those catalog files, because I'm now doing rpmlint checks of docbook packages. Moving version to DEVEL, this issue will be fixed during rpmlint corrections.
rpmlint corrections done, built as docbook-simple-1.1-2.fc9 , file is marked as configuration, is modified in %post (workaround of some older bug). If the mark as configuration file is not enough for you, there will be necessary some changes to fix the old bug some other way. I prefer to keep it like that. Closing RAWHIDE. Note: With docbook-slides-3.4.0-2.fc9 it is the same.
That seems like a reasonable compromise. While it isn't a normal config file, it does make it so when you see the file has changed, that it is less worrisome.
