change to an internal rpm database ...
from the 'vserver --help':
pkgmgmt externalize|internalize [-y]
... externalize or internalize the package-management for the
given vserver. 'Externalize' means that package metadata
and management tools (apt-get,rpm) are living in the host,
while 'internalize' means that data and programs from the
vserver will be used.

.. and maintain the guest (on the host) with
the internal database ...
