When installing the package, remove old versions of the glibc shared libraries. In addition to eliminating residue on the system from old package versions, this change will make it possible in the future to revert to older glibc packages using upgradepkg. l/glibc-i18n-2.27-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. l/glibc-profile-2.27-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt. n/gnupg2-2.2.8-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded. Sanitize the diagnostic output of the original file name in verbose mode. By using a made up file name in the message it was possible to fake status messages. Using this technique it was for example possible to fake the verification status of a signed mail.
