[luau] rpm problem

[Vikram Khurana]

rpm -qa | grep package

doesn't show it. But I can tell it is installed because of some of the
files it has installed.

Do I need to somehow update the RPM database or something?

hmm...

Try this:

rpm -qa | grep package

Is it listed here?  If so and rpm -ql doesn't show it try reinstalling
or
upgrading over it and if needed force it.

rpm -ivh --force package

also rpm -Uvh is to upgrade rpm -ivh is to install
