Re: [tbox-l] bug in webmin rpm

[Jørn A. <Jor...@nt...>]

Thank you, Reza! I copied the new package to our csm server and updated
the internal sysadmin-wiki.

I did not recon files created in %post can not be included in
%files. It has to be that way of course, although in principle the
%pre and %post scripts should avoid creating files if possible, in
order to maintain an accurate RPM file database.
