I suspect a typo s/newrpm/rpmnew/
You should run diff on the original and the .rpmnew file
to see if the new config file includes options or defaults
that are important to you.
Example:
locate .rpmnew | grep new$
diff /etc/ntp.conf /etc/ntp.conf.rpmnew
Same is true for .rpmsave files.
A 'good' sysadmin will eventually resolve and clean out both.
For the most part I have found that I can be lazy on this because the
RH packages and backporting are done well.
