Description of problem:
Upgrade from 7.1 Seawolf to 7.2 Enigma silently overwrote /etc/auto.master
without saving as auto.master.rpmsave or creating the new file as
auto.master.rpmnew, resulting in loss of access to configured options in
/etc/auto.misc.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):


How reproducible:
Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Upgrade 7.1 system with autofs installed to 7.2
2.
3.
	

Actual Results:  Original /etc/auto.master was overwritten.

Expected Results:  Should have created /etc/auto.master as
/etc/auto.master.rpmnew and noted in /tmp/upgrade.log

Additional info:

Corrected problem by uncommenting last line in /etc/auto.master thus
restoring reference to /etc/auto.misc
