Explanation
The rpm --verify command validates installed package files against the RPM database using several metadata attributes, but not all possible file attributes.
Common mistakes.
- C. Inode numbers are not recorded in the RPM database and are not used by rpm --verify because inodes are filesystem-level identifiers that change between installations.
- E. GnuPG signatures verify the authenticity of the package itself at install time via rpm --checksig, and are not part of the per-file verification performed by rpm --verify.
