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.
I'll give it a short-shot. It didn't occur to me that RPM *might* go check file(s), not just the DB, to see if a "frshen" was needed.
I will say I'm not hopeful, but I appreciate the time and suggestion regardless of outcome. I've just got the list of all available RPMs and just started selecting those I need. So I haven't lost a lot of time either way.
Just an FYI (and a "just in case I overlooked something"), it *seems* to be "No Joy in Mudville". Ran it twice on redhat logos that is missing a directory and a file. Silence ensued and results didn't! :-O
So I did it again with a "--verbose" figuring that you folks who have lived with it awhile might spot something I borked. Then, did an rpm2cpio to confirm the two components were indeed carried in the rpm file. They are.
Here's the verbosdity in case there is some value in it. I expect not and thanks again.
