Thanks for the fast response (as always ;^>) I had done a 'zypper dup' to 20200201, then (without previous reboot) a 'zypper in' for the 4 relevant packages. Yes, I had been running G04 before, until I realized I can/should use G05 with my 1060 card. Zypper was then finding the conflicts with the G04 version, and I selected the option to remove them. Since then I had (twice) switched between G04 and G05 using zypper as above, neither way the file got re-created. So as you suspect, that might be the reason. Ah yes, I see it now in the -q --triggers output. So it seems that didn't get triggered the way I installed? Would adding the snippet to create the tmpfiles.d entry (also) to the postinstall script catch this (without hurting otherwise)? Or is it rather that the postuninstall of the old package runs after the file has been created by the new version? In any case, it's maybe not the most common thing to switch between the two, so feel free to close as 'worksforme'....
