How do I find out what rpms are installed when Package Group Q is selected
When installing RedHat AS4 there is a page for Package Group Selection from which I can opt to have thinks like "Administration Tools" or "Text-based Internet" installed.
What I'd like to know is whether there is a way of finding out which rpms will be installed for a given package group. Or, to put it another way, given an package name is it possible to find out which package group it belongs to. I haven't been able to find anything appropriate in either the rpm or up2date man pages. Regards, Mike :scratch: |
Hi Mike Crowley, Welcome to lq. Is this what you're looking for?
Good luck. ;-) |

Thanks for the swift replies, guys. The information you gave has been very useful.
unSpawn: I had seen the reference to [-g,--group GROUP] in the rpm man page but hadn't found any explanation of what GROUP stood for until now. Now that I know of the existence of /usr/share/doc/rpm-4.3.3/GROUPS I have been able to tie up packages with their GROUP using the command line you gave. It is a pity, though, that RedHat haven't made this group list match the package group selection list displayed during installation. peacedog: The web page you provided a link to matches (as far as i can recall) the installation selection page. Is that something you generated yourself or was it part of an installation? I don't have it, or anything like it, on my systems but they are built for a very reduced set of package groups. Thanks again, Mike. |
