Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

*.rpmnew exists iff the original file was locally modified wrto the md5 contained
within the old package metadata is what to watch out for.

Left over *.rpmnew can/will exist from previous upgrades, nuking *.rpmnew
is recommended and perhaps will simplify some logic, and avoid clock skew issues.

inter-package existence tests like "-x /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled" are tricky
because when and where the scriptlet is run needs to be considered. You might just as well add a Requires: and rely on the transaction being ordered correctly,
that is likelier to work predictably, and is a simpler script to write.

The whole scheme assumes that ${SELINUXTYPE} changes rarely, but
wot's a girl to do?

HTH Isn't rpm annoying? ;-)
