We had some custom additions to our site.py file for a third party application. 'yum update' to 4.6 overwrote the file with no backup or warning. Not hard to repair, but it did have me worried there for a few minutes when the application failed to start.
Is this a python issue, an upstream issue or a CentOS issue? Can something be done about it going forward?
[ignacio@centos4 ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/python2.3/site.py python-(none):2.3.4-14.4.i386 [ignacio@centos4 ~]$ rpm -qpl CentOS/RPMS/python-2.3.4-14.4.i386.rpm | \

Upstream.
Although an application requiring changes to site.py seems suspect to me.
