Subject: handling removal of shared file
I have 3 specfiles for 3 [somehow related] packages, A, B, C.
All 3 specfiles include same configfile /etc/abc_common.cfg.
When I remove package C, rpm -e removes file /etc/abc_common.cfg,
even though A and B are still installed. This breaks packages A and B.
How to make rpm keep shared file until last package that uses it is
removed ?
Thanks
Viki
