Whiteboard:
Fixed In Version: device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-40.el4 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
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.

Description michal novacek 2010-05-04 12:54:08 UTC 
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

This is the (very) same as bz582330 where the proposed fix is adding "%config(noreplace) %verify(not md5 mtime size)" to .spec file.
Comment 3 Ben Marzinski 2010-10-28 03:31:20 UTC 
%config(noreplace) %verify(not md5 mtime size) added to specfile.
