(In reply to Ludwig Nussel from comment #5) > I'm not really fond of the way filesystem does this as > it also just duplicates information in rpms The problem is snapshot, rollback, and on Kubic/CaaSP additional transactional-updates vs. static and dynamic data. The best would be, if filesystem would not package any directories in /var and all would be populated with tmpfiles, but that would also mean rpm -qf wouldn't work anymore and quite some packages would fail to build. We need to enhance 'rpm -qf' to not only look into the rpmdb, but also into tempfiles.d
