Use yum to manage your packages and stop using rpm!

I hate seeing the RPMDB altered message when doing yum updates!

Transaction Summary
=======================================================================================================================
Install 1 Package
Upgrade 1 Package

Total size: 309 M
Is this ok [y/d/N]: y
Downloading packages:
Running transaction check
Running transaction test
Transaction test succeeded
Running transaction
Warning: RPMDB altered outside of yum.

For that reason, I tell sysadmins when installing or upgrading rpms to use:

yum -y install <rpm file>

and to use

yum -y remove <rpm name>

to remove the rpm you want.
