Thus I wrote some functions for my .bashrc that automate parts of the work -- I just uploaded them to http://www.leemhuis.info/files/fedorarpms/MISC.fdr/rpmstuff Not sure if the stuff is complete; Warning, the stuff is grown over time and might delete all your data, kill kittens and so own. Further: there are probably much better and cleaner ways to archive the goals than the stuff I wrote. What my stuff does: rpm_find_packages_with_corrupted_files -> finds missing, corrupted files and config files that got changed rpmcleanup-rpmnewfile and rpmcleanup-rpmnewfiles as well as rpmcleanup-rpmsavefile and rpmcleanup-rpmsavefiles -> process rpm{new,save} files; if the md5sum is identical move the rpmnew file over for example; otherwise show a diff, ask user what to do (for example run meld to merge the files) rpm_find_problems -> run some of above test as well as some stuff from rpmdevtools and yum-utils I'm sure most of us have other scripts for the same and different problems. So it might be a good idea to just find the best ones for particular problems and package them up, so the problem get solved once and for all.
