      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      rpm databases should be verified with `rpm --verifydb` and not with sqlite commands. This option is not documented in the --help or in the man pages.

      Please provide the package NVR for which bug is seen:

      rpm-4.14.3-26.el8.x86_64

      rpm-4.16.1.3-22.el9.x86_64

      Request

      Can we add this option to the rpm help and man page for users to be able to find and better utilize.
