Hi folks,

As root

Ran
# rpm -Va

Code:

A long running list.

Are they only noise. Or I have to rectify all of them. If YES, please advise HOW.

TIA

RPM keeps a record of file size, modification time, md5sum etc. In -V option checks these. If you move, delete, edit or install new files without using rpm, these changes show up. It may be noise or not depending upon what you did.
