Different approach idea: install the rpm and somehow list or catch any written or changed file outside of those listed by "rpm -ql ..."
I assume you mean to basically compare what "rpm -ql" shows for an installed package before updating it with what it shows after it was updated. I think on the one hand this would result too much false-positives warnings or errors when updating an installed RPM because an update can change any files that belong to the package, e.g. things like replacing /opt/<package>/<path>/this by /opt/<package>/<path>/that. On the other hand what should the user do when he gets informed that "update of <package> replaced /usr/bin/ls"? I think the approach to "install the rpm" and do anything afterwards does not really help - except to scare the user after all could have been already lost.
