For those who're curious, I'm not on that list, but quickly having a
look at its archives, and presuming that those who contributed know what
they're talking about, it works against the *installed* files on your
system, not the previously cached RPM files.

You were a little bit vague in answering that, Rahul.  They're all
"files".
