Proposed patch adapted from upstream (only the line numbers changed).
Description of problem:
Running "rpm -Va" on a freshly-installed x86_64 system reports
thousands of files with mtimes that differ from the original
package. This pretty much makes rpm verification useless.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
rpm-4.4.2.3-7.el5
How reproducible:
Every time.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install new x86_64 system.
2. run "rpm -Va"
Actual results:
Many files differ from the ones in the RPM package. Most of them
differ only in their mtime and are the ones that belong to
multiarch packages.
Expected results:
"rpm -Va" should list only the files that have actually changed
Additional info:
This is one of the complaints put forth in Bug 426672. This has also
been addressed in upstream rpm:
