My former primary boot disk had some bad spots appear awhile back. Damage, per rpm --verify, seems to be predominately in loss of reference files in /usr/share/doc and such as that.

Depending on the corruption you've got, rpm -Fvh might be what you want. Freshen may solve some of your dilemma.
rpm also has a --replacefiles
Gave it a shot, seems to be NG. Here's my actions and results.
# rpm --install --verbose --replacefiles \ redhat-logos-1.1.26-1.centos4.1.noarch.rpm Preparing packages for installation... package redhat-logos-1.1.26-1.centos4.1 is already installed # Did an ls and files not in /usr/share/doc/redhat* # rpm -Fvh --replacefiles redhat-logos-1.1.26-1.centos4.1.noarch.rpm # ls -l /usr/share/doc/redhat-logos* ls: /usr/share/doc/redhat-logos*: No such file or directory # rpm -Uvh --replacefiles redhat-logos-1.1.26-1.centos4.1.noarch.rpm Preparing... ########################################### [100%] package redhat-logos-1.1.26-1.centos4.1 is already installed
I'm doing a small script for the rpm2cpio, so keep those ideas coming! Only a few minutes to test the ideas and it might save me some effort (just selecting the rpm files and adding to the script iinput ATM).
