Dear All,

Could you please explain why rpm packages builders are defining spec
file with empty files inside?
e.g. the rpm package for rpm utility defines empty files __db.000,
__db.001, ...., __db.009, but I cannot find any file on my
system...and rpm -Vv  seems to be happy....is it checking only not
empty files?

Thx
