Hi All,

 

As the subject says, I’d like to add an entry into the rpm database without actually having that package on hand. I’m looking for tips on how to do this.

(this isn’t a install/update case where –nodeps would do, there’s some software looking for an entry in the rpm db)

 

The easiest way is to get the package and install with --justdb.

Otherwise, you need to build a package with whatever you want, and install.

Which is really exactly the same as the previous suggestion.
