Description Morgan Leijström 2013-05-08 22:46:40 CEST

Description of problem:
Initscripts update want to empty /etc/crypttab and i guess that would render system unbootable, or cause further problem (have not tested.)

* To be sure not to ship a wrecking system i post this ASAP and set it release blocker, be free to change if that is wrong. *

People had the same issue with the setup package and /etc/{g,}shadow, but of course you shouldn't overwrite any of those files with the .rpmnew files.  They put an exception in mgaapplet so it wouldn't even ask you for those files, so I suppose /etc/crypttab could be added to that list.  It'd be nice if there was a better solution where you could give %config(noreplace) another option where it wouldn't create an .rpmnew at all.
