The -V command should not require presence of any rpm file, I think. rpm -V firefox rpm -V firefox3 both work on my F7. The first complains a little; the second is silent. adding a (lowercase) -v option produces lotsa spam. I presume that firefox 2 is still around because it is a dependancy of other programs. >..
