The right thing is not to have multiple identical rpms only differentiated by
prefix installed.
In rpm-python addErase can take an int of the hdr offset - obtainable from
mi.instance, completely untested - but you may be able to do something like:
import rpm
ts=rpm.ts()
mi = ts.dbMatch(rpm.RPMTAG_NAME, "relocator")
mi.pattern(rpm.RPMTAG_PREFIXES, rpm.RPMMIRE_DEFAULT, "/usr/opt")
for h in mi:
instance = mi.instance()
ts.addErase(instance)
