Not exactly well know, but resonably documented: Create a new DB for rpm somewhere and test against that. mkdir /tmp/rpmdb rpm --initdb --dbpath /tmp/rpmdb rpm -Uvh --test *.rpm You migh need to create the Name, Providename, Conflictname, and Basenames files with touch. I don't have a set of rpms handy to test with. What I do have reports the missing files in the rpmdb and then lists failed dependencies, but it should since it's not the full package set. -Thomas
