Hi, I was reading a post here (if interested): https://forums.opensuse.org/t/do-i-have-to-babysit-updates-and-other-questio...
I decided to then pass rpmconfigcheck in Konsole.
Thinkcentre-M57p:~ # rpmconfigcheck Searching for unresolved configuration files Please check the following files (see /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck): /etc/chrony.conf.rpmnew /etc/postfix/main.cf.rpmnew /etc/postfix/master.cf.rpmnew Thinkcentre-M57p:~ # cat /var/adm/rpmconfigcheck /etc/chrony.conf.rpmnew /etc/postfix/main.cf.rpmnew /etc/postfix/master.cf.rpmnew Thinkcentre-M57p:~ #
In the post link above, one speaks of using 'diff' but it is unclear of how to use this to compare .rpm packages. How should I think of these rpmnew packages I see listed above?

Thanks for this specific information about "rpmconfigcheck". How were you able to have the link above (which you provided), point to that specific area on the webpage? This has also been a question for me for a long time. Thanks
/etc/postfix/main.cf /master are complicated files. Unless you actually use postfix, ignore them and simply replace the config file with the rpmnew.
meld/tkdiff /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew /etc/cups/cupsd.con
transfer your personale changes from /etc/cups/cupsd.conf to /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew, remove /etc/cups/cupsd.conf and save /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew as /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
Much easier:
meld /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
transfer new parts from the rpmnew to your file (there are clickable arrows in meld indicating what you can do on each section), keeping the sections you want to keep from your file. Save changes, done.
Then you can delete /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.rpmnew.
Me, I do a backup of both files before starting.
