    $ diff /etc/vimrc /etc/vimrc.rpmnew
    $

There are no differences, so you might as well remove /etc/vimrc.rpmnew.
If there had been differences, you'd probably want to merge them into the
vimrc file.

But why was such a file created anyway?  I'd have thought that there would
be at least minimal merge logic which would not make .rpmnew files when the
file would be identical with the original.
