Comparing with the second system: the files started to appear or rather remain leftover with the snapshot update following the snapshot which contained the update of libzypp to version 17.31.22-2.1 on the respective system. This version of libzypp was part of snapshot 20231012. The announcement "New Tumbleweed snapshot 20231012 released!" mentioned these changes: ==== libzypp ==== Version update (17.31.20 -> 17.31.22) - Preliminary disable 'rpm --runposttrans' usage for chrooted systems (bsc#1216091) This limits the %transfiletrigger(postun|in) support in the default installer iff --root is used (as described in bug 1041742). The chrooted execution of the scripts in 'rpm - -runposttrans' broke in rpm-4.18. It's expected to be fixed in rpm-4.19. Then we'll enable the feature again. - fix comment typo on zypp.conf (boo#1215979) - version 17.31.22 (22) - Attempt to delay %transfiletrigger(postun|in) execution if rpm supports it (bsc#1041742) Decide during installation whether rpm is capable of delayed %posttrans %transfiletrigger(postun|in) execution or whether we can just handle the packages %posttrans. On TW a delayed %transfiletrigger handling is possible since rpm-4.17. - Make sure the old target is deleted before a new one is created (bsc#1203760) - version 17.31.21 (22)
