Description of problem: Installing device-mapper-multipath and running "rpm -V device-mapper-multipath" shows error: # rpm -V device-mapper-multipath S.5....T. c /etc/kpartx.conf Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-35.el4_8.2.s390x How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. up2date device-mapper-multipath 2. rpm -V device-mapper-multipath Additional info: This is the (very) same as bz582330 where the proposed fix is adding "%config(noreplace) %verify(not md5 mtime size)" to .spec file.
%config(noreplace) %verify(not md5 mtime size) added to specfile.
Reproduced in device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-36.el4 and verified in device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-40.el4.

Technical note added. If any revisions are required, please edit the "Technical Notes" field accordingly. All revisions will be proofread by the Engineering Content Services team. New Contents: Cause: the device-mapper-multipath package may modify the installed default /etc/kpartx.conf file during rpm installation. After this, /etc/kpartx.conf's size, md5sum, and time of last modification no longer match the information in the rpm package. Consequence: rpm -V device-mapper-multipath Fix: Flags were added to the spec file to tell rpm that /etc/kpartx.conf may change, and that it should ignore differences in size, md5sum and modification time. Result: rpm -V no longer prints any errors for newly installed device-mapper-multipath packages.
