I doubt SW can do this. You should execute a remote command on all clients and give the needed parameters and options to "zypper", "dnf" or "apt". But I also think this is a one time run. So if you want to upgrade, you would have to run this again.

Another solution is to rebuild the rpm and specify another --prefix.

There is a tool for this. Have to search for it again. Have it not on my mind right now.
