Ok I understand about rpmlib thanks. However, that doesn't answer my last question.

You can extract the files from a package and place them manually, but it isn't "installed" unless rpm knows about it.

@Pozinux You could basically remove an installed rpm package just from rpms database, the actual files in that package would still be in place but the package would not be considered "installed" anymore. Refer to rpms --justdb option.
