sudo yum install rpmconf

Description : This tool search for .rpmnew, .rpmsave and .rpmorig files and ask you what to do

with them:

Keep current version, place back old version, watch the diff or merge.

And finally run the utility:

sudo rpmconf -a

and if there is a conflict or rpmsave or rpmnew file, then you will see something like this:

Configuration file `/etc/default/grub’

-rw-r–r– 1 root root 247 May 10 02:38 /etc/default/grub
