"rpm -qvc $package" gives more info-- the files' permissions and owners.
But the ridiculously long one (at top) tells-- among other things--
which files have changed from their initially installed versions-- key
info for what the OP was wanting to know. (I wrapped it in a bash
script so it's easier to type.)
