Essentially, after installing livna's packages instead, you would need
to do an rpm -Va on various packages to ensure that the files hadn't
been replaced (If they have, reinstall those packages).
Not to nit-pick, but running rpm -Va will check *all* packages; that's what
the -a switch does. Same for rpm -qa listing all packages. Of course, you
can also do:
rpm -qa kernel*
to see all packages that begin with "kernel". If you want to verify only
certain packages with rpm, run:
rpm -V package1 package2 package3
BTW: rpm -Va will take a long time to run.
Users who are technically inclined enough to optimize the rpm verify
to a subset of all packages that just encompass all X packages, are
of course free to do so. :o)
rpm -Va gets them all, without having to have a big explanation, or
provide a list of all of the relevent packages however.
