repairing an installed RPM

[Dave Mitchell]

If I have an installed RPM, and one or more of its installed files have
been deleted or corrupted, what's the best way to repair it?

The only way I've found is

    rpm -e --nodeps foo.rpm
    rpm -i foo.rpm

which seems a bit clunky. Is there any way that only updates the damaged
files?
