The only way I can think to change the entries in your rpm database is to
remove the package from the database, and re-install it, but just to the
database. like this:
rpm --justdb -ev <package>
rpm --justdb -ivh <package>.rpm --relocate /original/path=/your/new/path
Whether or not that will actually work as you expect it to, I am unsure.
Just make sure to backup your rpm database beforehand.
Unless someone wise than I speaks up, I believe that is the only way to
accomplish what you want without figuring out how to manually edit the rpm
database without corrupting it. And I don't know that anyone would
recommend that.
