%config(noreplace) *AND* %verify directives for the same file

[Anders Wegge Keller]

Sorry for not including that information. While looking for that, I
discovered that the real problem was %verify(owner group mode), where owner
isn't valid. So after chnging that to user, it lookslike it works.

I'll go hide under a rock in shame over wasting peoples.
