This is the previous file. RPM does one of two things when it has to replace
an existing file:
- move the old file to file.rpmsave, and write the new one
- leave the old file alone, and write the new one to file.rpmnew
You can tell which from the different extensions.
In fact, there's a third mode. If the old file checksums to the same as
that in the current RPM package then RPM knows it's unchanged from stock,
and is free to replace it outright.
