I have a situation where, the (rpm & deb) packages installed in my Linux system are updated manually without using rpm or dpkg provided tools. �
However, after the update we need to sync the respective DB of rpm or dpkg to reflect the latest version, maintainer tags etc.�
I know how to�achieve�this using dpkg for deb files. �
Can someone give a pointers on how to�achieve�this for rpm files?�
I was thinking in the lines of,
1. extract the metadata from each upgraded rpm files to a text file. ( probably�rpm -qip <.rpm> ?? )
2. modify the rpm DB data using the consolidated text file.�
Is this possible with existing tools?
