After the first installing the package example.rpm using rpm -Uvh ./example.rpm. I deleted some config files of example by mistake. Then the second time, I use rpm -Uvh ./example.rpm. it said the package is already installed. so it is stilling missing the config files I deleted. How to change the command to let it install the config files?

actually, it is that I delete all the files that the example.rpm has installed. Then I use the command to install it again. And it says "the package has already been installed". - Bingyu Yin
maybe it can be resolved by adding --force to the command or removing the installed package first and then use the command to install it again:) - Bingyu Yin
