Description Gerald Pfeifer 2017-05-05 19:04:52 UTC

I saw the following when updating postfix the last few times:

(18/50) Installing: postfix-3.2.0-4.1.x86_64 .............................[done]
Additional rpm output:
warning: /etc/postfix/main.cf created as /etc/postfix/main.cf.rpmnew
Executing upgrade-configuration.

    Note: the following files or directories still exist but are no
    longer part of Postfix:

     /etc/postfix/postfix-files /etc/postfix/postfix-script
     /etc/postfix/post-install

Updating /etc/sysconfig/postfix ...
Updating /etc/sysconfig/mail ...

Alas:

  > rpm -qf /etc/postfix/postfix-files
  postfix-3.2.0-4.1.x86_64
  > rpm -qf /etc/postfix/postfix-script
  postfix-3.2.0-4.1.x86_64
  > rpm -qf /etc/postfix/post-install
  postfix-3.2.0-4.1.x86_64

Isn't that inconsistent?
