[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] How to change a header value of something in the base and in the package file itself? (#478)

[Jeff Johnson]

See what rpm does. You will need to read/load the header, remove the immutable region, modify the tag value you wish to change, reestablish the immutable region, recalculate checksums, and rewrite the package or replace the header in the rpmdb.

There is no simple API to do that.
