What you can do is, is use the perl (RPM2) or python binding to rpmlib and gather the data from both db's and then mangle it within perl or python. If you use RPM2, I can help you, if you use the python bindings there are plenty others that can help you. > There is an old bugzilla request #4137 that describes exactly what I need, > but I see no resolution done for the request. > To my knowledge there is no resolution. Would be nice to be able to do this though. If you have C skills, and want to take a wack at providing such capability in librpm then go to rpm-devel@xxxxxxxxx and start a discussion to help come to some consensus about how it should work.
