sorry for the delay of this feedback.
Please excuse me but even reading many pages from the link you suggested, things are still not clear to me,
moreover referred files seem to be related to an older version of RPM.
Anyway, if I need to update the RPM database telling it that all the *already installed* packages should be
found now on path B instead of the original one A, I guess I have to pass this information to the command
I have to use, of course. AFAIK, I can do such a thing only during installation of a new package, with the
relocation option, which is not my case. Even if I rebuild the database, maybe deleting some existing files,
how can I pass this kind of info?
Many thanks again in advance for your kind reply,
Matteo

Hi Phoebe,
thanks for your quick reply.
I tried with --rebuilddb option before posting, but with no success, all
files paths still refer
to the old location, any other idea?
Regards, Matteo

Hello there,
my name is Matteo and I'm writing from Italy.
I have a (maybe stupid) question for which I hope you can give me an
answer,
I also made many searches on Google without success.
I have an RPM database in a non-standard location with many packages
installed
with the --relocate option. Now I need to move everything in a different
location, and
of course, if I try the --verify option it reports that all RPM-related
files are missing.
Is there a way to upgrade the database so that all the files paths
reflect
the new location?
Many thanks in advance for your answer,
Matteo
