I've spent the last halk hour or so reading the 'rpm' man page, and trying
various rpm options, but I've been unable to figure out how to, if it's
possible, get info (read the specfile??) on what installing a particular rpm
package file *will* do during the install.

I use 'rpm -qil foo' all the time to see how 'foo' was installed from an rpm
package file.  I'd like to see the same info for a package yet to be
installed or updated.

The problem that's driving this question is:

[root@localhost new_soft]# ls librep*.rpm
librep-0.15.2-1.i386.rpm  librep-devel-0.15.2-1.i386.rpm

[root@localhost new_soft]# rpm -Uvh --test librep*.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [10=
0%]
package librep-0.13.6-5 (which is newer than librep-0.15.2-1) is already in=
stalled
package librep-devel-0.13.6-5 (which is newer than librep-devel-0.15.2-1) i=
s already installed

I want to check dates to see what's going on.

Any ideas?

thank you.
