upgrading to 5.27 was easy, going from 5.27 to 5.35 is the difficult one.

Nope, I used --force, didn't help. Checking the docs again... Argh, there
is a --allfiles option, it seems that's nearly the option I was looking
for, I wonder why I didn't see it last time... I would prefer a slightly
less drastic option doing a "install all missing missingok files"

The problem with the upgrade is that the symlink setup changed again, and
rpm is not very good in handling that, so a simple -Uvh of
chkconfig/initscripts wiped all files in /etc/rc.d/init.d belonging to
initscripts and not even repeated --force installs would recreate
/etc/rc.d/init.d/functions. Since I overlooked the --allfiles option, I
ended up using rpm2cpio|cpio to get at the files.
