Stefano, Perhaps, but you should do it anyway. If you don't, it won't be part of your software inventory, so it could get partially overlaid by something else, deleted by someone else, corrupted in some way, etc., and you would never know. There have been a good number of times "rpm-V" has shown me problems that I wouldn't have known about otherwise. "Just Do It." It's not that hard.
