what do you mean? Yum uses the rpmdb and .hdr files for the information
- it just depends on if the package is installed or not.
Sorry. I am talking about rpmdb-redhat witch represent the whole
distribution (/usr/lib/rpmdb/i386-redhat-linux/redhat) and not the rpm
database in /var/lib/rpm that correspond only to packages currently
installed.
$ rpm -i kdegraphics-devel-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm
error: Failed dependencies:
kdegraphics = 7:3.1.2-4 is needed by kdegraphics-devel-3.1.2-4
Suggested resolutions:
kdegraphics-3.1.2-4.i386.rpm <= this come from rpmdb-redhat.
So rpm use /var/lib/rpm and rpmdb-redhat "like" yum use /var/lib/rpm and
and .hdr files.
rpmdb-redhat and .hdr files represent the whole distribution.
