If you change the state of the system with manual installation, it is<br>

<br>I've installed some rpm packages manually, sometimes because I wanted to test something before it hit the official repos. I've never observed any inconsistency problems while doing so. I was under the impression that the 'rpm' command will also update the yum databases so everything will work fine. Am I wrong here?<br>
