Yesterday git status reported that the following files had changed since the previous commit: # modified: ../usr/bin/gdb # modified: ../usr/bin/gvim # modified: ../usr/bin/vim
# modified: ../etc/virsh.run # modified: .Xauthority # modified: .bash_history # modified: ../selinux/policy # modified: ../usr/bin/gdb # modified: ../usr/bin/gvim # modified: ../usr/bin/vim # When I check the differences git simply reports that the binary files are difference but, after I reinstalled them all yesterday I noted that the file modification times of the replaced files and their respective reinstalled files were the same but their file sizes were not.
Did you rpm verify? # rpm -qV vim-enhanced # rpm -qV gdb Did you diff the text files? Did you "binary diff" the binaries? How many bytes difference? constant number?
