Yes, they can be safely removed. Half of them were never used at all,
the rest were of marginal use and have been dropped in rpm >= 4.9.
imo, just do a
rpm --rebuilddb
and all the old stuff should get cleared out on it's own
no, that is why i am wondering that all other
files execpt the listed ones get a new timestamp
after "rpm --rebuilddb"
Yup. Generally anything that doesn't get updated on --rebuilddb is not
used. Or even more generally: only the Packages file is vital.
Everything else is just indexes which can be reconstructed from Packages
with --rebuilddb (and current rpm versions actually regenerate missing
indexes automatically)
