IMO we need a new approach to that. Creative ideas welcome :-) The host's rpm database is in charge of the OS, the OS is in /usr. So by definition can't deal with 3rd party stuff in /opt.
One could combine RPM's --dbpath and --root options to *always* install 3rd party software into a separate hierarchy. OpenPKG makes use of that (http://www.openpkg.org/) for two decades, if I am not mistaken. No sure, though, whether that is a scalable approach. Probably fully separating OS and applictions makes more sense? So long - MgE -- Matthias G.
