Then, I have a bit of a complaint. Running an upgrade under glint,
you don't see any errors. At least, here's my file loss situation:
Installed httpd, put in my own index.html.
Upgrade rpm came out, I upgrade. My index.html is gone, not saved
anywhere, no errors in from glint.
I might suggest that rpm check if the file has changed since it was
installed (ala verify) and if it has changed, save it to a .rpmsave.
It should give you a warning so you can do a find -name "*.rpmsave" if
you need to.
