Ok, I know that comparison is against the file on disk but that's what
it's all about. Why rpm -V shows differences in files md5 sums (no matter
how hysterical md5 is, it is better than nothing) since these md5 sums in
rpm database are exactly the same as md5 sums of files on disk? Even if I
specify --nomd5 option, rpm tells that all files has changed md5 sums:

root at pld:~# rpm -V --nomd5 wget
..5.....  c /etc/wgetrc
..5.....  d /usr/share/doc/wget-1.14/NEWS.gz
..5.....    /usr/share/locale/hr/LC_MESSAGES/wget.mo
..5.....    /usr/share/locale/nl/LC_MESSAGES/wget.mo
..5.....    /usr/bin/rmold
..5.....  d /usr/share/doc/wget-1.14/README.gz
..5.....    /usr/share/locale/cs/LC_MESSAGES/wget.mo
