Please help: how to relocate installed files paths into an RPM database

read the link and it shows you all the files that you may need to edit to
post your new location. Just be aware that it may try to go back to default
if you build again.

Hi Phoebe,

thanks for your quick reply.

I tried with --rebuilddb option before posting, but with no success, all
files paths still refer
to the old location, any other idea?

Regards, Matteo

  Hello there,

  my name is Matteo and I'm writing from Italy.

  I have a (maybe stupid) question for which I hope you can give me an
  answer,
  I also made many searches on Google without success.

  I have an RPM database in a non-standard location with many packages
  installed
  with the --relocate option. Now I need to move everything in a different
  location, and
  of course, if I try the --verify option it reports that all RPM-related
  files are missing.

  Is there a way to upgrade the database so that all the files paths
  reflect
  the new location?

  Many thanks in advance for your answer,

  Matteo
