there is no need to do so

but why do you think you need to touch anything below
/var/lib/rpm/? that's the rpm database you should never
touch without damned good reasons like follow dist-upgrade
instructions

you can happily use "yum" and "dnf" on the same setup
all the time and the warnings "rpm database modified"
or similar are harmless, you may even trigger them by
touch the rpmdb by hand
