      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      There appears to be a regression in the ownership of directory path "/etc/security/console.apps/" between RHEL9 and RHEL10. On RHEL9 this path is owned by the pam package, but on RHEL10 it is no longer owned by any package even though some packages (subscription-manager and usermode) continue to install to it.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      [root@kvm-04-guest09 ~]# rpm -q pam
      pam-1.6.1-6.el10.x86_64
      

      How reproducible is this bug?:

      Steps to reproduce

      On a RHEL9.6 system....

      [root@kvm-05-guest16 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 9.6 Beta (Plow)
      [root@kvm-05-guest16 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/security/console.apps/
      pam-1.5.1-22.el9.x86_64
      

      On a RHEL10.0 system....

      [root@kvm-04-guest09 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release 
      Red Hat Enterprise Linux release 10.0 (Coughlan)
      [root@kvm-04-guest09 ~]# rpm -q --whatprovides /etc/security/console.apps/
      file /etc/security/console.apps is not owned by any package
      
      [root@kvm-04-guest09 ~]# rpm -q pam
      pam-1.6.1-6.el10.x86_64
      

      Expected results

      Not sure what is expected.  Should pam continue to own it? Should the packages that install to it claim ownership? Should the directory have any ownership at all (as-is)?  

      Actual results

      The pam-1.6 rpm no longer owns /etc/security/console.apps/ even though it continues to be in use...

      [root@kvm-04-guest09 ~]# ls -l /etc/security/console.apps/
      total 8
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 24 Oct 28 20:00 config-util
      -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 62 Nov 12 19:00 subscription-manager
