From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2) Gecko/20021126 Description of problem: Adding (noreplace) to the .spec file would correct this. I know that it is not normal for the startup script file to be modified but when it is modified, it would be nice to have the choice of upgrading the init script. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 8.11.6-23.73 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm -Fvh sendmail*23.73.rpm Actual Results: previously modified /etc/init.d/sendmail was replaced Expected Results: Either the original modified version of /etc/init.d/sendmail should be backed up as sendmail.rpmorig or the new file saved as sendmail.rpmnew. Additional info:
The RHL7.3 version as well as the errata rpm for RHL7.3 have this file marked as %config file. So if you don't have a backup file, this would suggest that your original file has not been changed. Maybe you have thought about /etc/sysconfig/sendmail instead? greetings, Florian La Roche
