'>' vs '>=' maybe? Dragons hang out at edge cases. How did /usr/share/licenses/mdevctl/COPYING get that timestamp? I have (Fedora 33): ~ % ls -l /usr/share/licenses/mdevctl/COPYING --full-time -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 26530 2021-06-10 13:49:09.000000000 -0300 /usr/share/licenses/mdevctl/COPYING
As I show in another reply in this thread, there are 4 files like this, and my other (also f34) machine also has the same four with the same timestamp. So it is not a local corruption.
