How to update rpm database regarding removed file of a package?

For Suppose, I have installed a package having files file1, file2 and file3. After installation, I removed the file "file3".

But "rpm -qf file3" is giving the package name, even file3 was not there. And also "rpm -ql package" is also displaying all 3 files.

How can i update rpm database about the package to display only available files i.e. file1 and file2 when queried with "rpm -ql".

I want a shell script to update rpm database so that I can get only file1 and file2 when queried with "rpm -ql".

NAME
rpmdb - RPM Database Tool SYNOPSIS
rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} DESCRIPTION
The general form of an rpm rebuild database command is rpm {--initdb|--rebuilddb} [-v] [--dbpath DIRECTORY] [--root DIRECTORY] Use --initdb to create a new database if one doesn't already exist (existing database is not overwritten), use --rebuilddb to rebuild the database indices from the installed package headers. SEE ALSO
popt(3), rpm(8), rpmkeys(8), rpmsign(8), rpm2cpio(8), rpmbuild(8), rpmspec(8), rpm --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the manual matches what's available. http://www.rpm.org/ <URL:http://www.rpm.org/> AUTHORS
