------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-10-10 16:43 ------- I saw this too, fortunatelly I fixed the problem before logging out. If you do not notice it, it will lock you out of the system :-(( It should create just .rpmnew file in this case, not rename the old to .rpmsave too. Or rename to .rpmsave but replace the file with a new version. This has rather high breakage potential.
