What about inconsistency between repo metadata and in RPMDB with package
checksums. Metadata contains file checksum (only one type), but RPMDB contains
a header checksum (multiple types). We have some users who wants to align
available packages with installed one and there is not enough information
stored in DNF, RPM, or repo metadata to do it. NEVRA, repoid is not enough.
Repository metadata must contain file checksum for verification as well as the
size of file. Adding additional checksum would be possible, but expensive for
distribution (compatibility could be also affected).
There is possible solution on DNF side - store both checksum types in DNF5
system state, but that information will be not available for packages installed
directly by RPM or by Zypper.
What kind of option do we have from RPM side?
