hi
if you want to install two arch packages (amd64 & athlon) then there's cases when you
install package which contains %{_libdir} files and %config files.
as a result of install such package (upgrading both arches) the %config files are created .rpmnew:
5:pango ########################################### [ 21%]
6:gtk+2 ########################################### [ 25%]
7:pango
warning: /etc/pango/pangox.aliases created as /etc/pango/pangox.aliases.rpmnew
########################################### [ 29%]
12:heimdal-libs ########################################### [ 50%]
13:heimdal-libs
warning: /etc/heimdal/krb5.conf created as /etc/heimdal/krb5.conf.rpmnew
########################################### [ 54%]
# q -qf /etc/pango/pangox.aliases
pango-1.10.3-1.athlon
pango-1.10.3-1.amd64
# q -qf /etc/heimdal/krb5.conf
heimdal-libs-0.7.2-1.athlon
heimdal-libs-0.7.2-1.amd64
prposition:
1. make rule that -libs file may not contain anything else outside %{_libdir} (that should include %doc too)
2. make rule that packages whose libraries are used outside the same package will have -libs subpackage.
