https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D197011 --- Comment #12 from John Hein <z7dr6ut7gs@snkmail.com> --- (In reply to Mathieu Arnold from comment #11) The redhat package labels it a "ghost" file. Look for the ghost directive here: http://www.rpm.org/max-rpm-snapshot/s1-rpm-inside-files-list-directives.html Basically it means not to include the file in the package but remove it on uninstall - intended for logs and other things that get generated by the package during its installed lifetime. Then they have a post install scriptlet to gen the file (using save_parsers= ()). And some logic to try to preserve an existing ParserDetails.ini file (cp to .backup) which doesn't look quite right, but probably works in most typical cases. And a pre-uninstall scriptlet to undo that post-install stuff. The bottom line is that the file shows up in the package listing, but is ignored for package verification. Tested on Fedora 23. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
