I'll give it a short-shot. It didn't occur to me that RPM *might* go
check file(s), not just the DB, to see if a "frshen" was needed.

I will say I'm not hopeful, but I appreciate the time and suggestion
regardless of outcome. I've just got the list of all available RPMs and
just started selecting those I need. So I haven't lost a lot of time
either way.

Thanks again!
