Thanks for this Patrick, I had Frits' question at the back of my mind for a week. Having looked at them, I think you are right they relate to an upgrade, but AFAICT, the files are related to user config files which were already in the system prior to an update, and are what a fresh install would supply. ie they are not replaced files, they are candidate replacement files.
They are both. rpmnew is a "candidate replacement" file, as you say, but .rpmsave is a config file from the old package which was edited since the package was originally installed, and thus copied for backup by the upgrade Thanks for all the contributions. I noticed over time I was getting more of these messages. As I have done some upgrading over time, some through YOU and some outside, I guess that is where they came from. I move all these files to a seperate directory I created under my home
