The actual issue is that any file unpack failure during an update can cause
unmodified %config files to be deleted on the cleanup stage. This is because
normally to-be-installed files are unpacked to a temporary suffix which is then
safe to remove, but unmodified config files are handled with FA_TOUCH to only
update their metadata instead of rewriting the file, and so must be skipped
during cleanup. Affects all rpm >= 4.14 versions AFAICS.
If %_minimize_writes is used, this will have a much wider impact than just
unmodified config files.
