handling removal of shared file

[viki]

I have 3 specfiles for 3 packages, A, B, C. These packages are
related, and
all 3 specfiles have same configfile /etc/abc_common.cfg.
When I remove package C, rpm -e removes file /etc/abc_common.cfg,
even though A and B are still installed. This breaks packages A and B.

How to make rpm keep shared file until last package that uses it is
removed ?

Thanks
Viki

Explain in the spec file that it is a '%config' file.
