err, 

never seen this before (altho haven't used rpm 4.4.9 for long either)

i ran poldek --upgrade-dist which downloaded bunch of kde packages and told 
rpm(1) to upgrade them

usually this means that packages are upgraded and %post parts ran after 
upgrade is done. but what i encountered was that rpm erased old packages and 
installed new ones, which means %config files were saved as .rpmsave, 
services stopped and when the install part appeared .rpmnew files were 
created and no services started.

here's upgrade log i managed to capture (as luckily i ran upgrade in 
screen(1))
