Description of problem: Inside of the spec-file /var/yp/Makefile should be marked as %config(noreplace) Rationale: /var/yp/Makefile is supposed to be edited and customized. Due to it not being marked %config(noreplace), ypserv package updates will blow away all customizations users might have applied. As a result ypservers might become unusable and kill whole networks. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ypserv-2.19-8.fc8 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. edit /var/yp/Makefile 2. rpm -U ypserv-<newversion>.rpm Actual results: The edited /var/yp/Makefile is being backed up to /var/yp/Makefile.rpmsave and replaced with the rpm's original /var/yp/Makefile. All customizations are being lost. The next "make" will create ypserver dbs not meeting the user's expectations, which are likely to break yp-based networks (As in my case).
