No, -v (or --verify) simply makes rpm check the current state
of the disk against what its database says things should look like.
It'll tell you what's different, but it won't make any changes. There
are a --setperms and --setugids that will correct permissions and
ownership. But if you change content it can't really do anything
about it.
