Seems to only apply to querying and verifying packages at least according to the man page for rpm and rpm --help. >> eg. >> $ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so >> gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.x86_64 >> to discover which rpm provides the specified file. >> >> Just to make sure, I tried the following, adding a ".rpm" in case of a >> typo. >> $ rpm -i gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.i686 -f gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so >> error: gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.i686: not an rpm package (or >> package manifest): >> error: open of gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so failed: No such file or >> directory >> $ rpm -i gnome-keyring-3.6.3-1.fc18.i686.rpm -f >> gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so >> error: open of gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so failed: No such file or >> directory >> > > Well, obviously the RPM package to install must be available as a local > file.

I think the -f is being ignored in this case. The PACKAGE_FILE can be a manifest as you describe and the command given above works just the same without the -f.
