[SOLVED] How to determine if two packages exist in a single if

kbscores · 08-08-2013, 09:32 AM

Currently - i'm checking to see if a single package exists like so:

Code:

rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}.%{arch}\n"|grep -i glibc-2.5.i386
if [ $? -eq 0 ]
  then
    rpm -e glibc-2.5.i386
fi

I really need to check for two packages, because I only really want to remove it if both packages exist. Is there a way to do this in a single if statement? I know I can use two nested if statements, but would really like to minimize it.

Well,..

Code:

(rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}.%{arch}\n"|grep -i glibc-2.5.i386) && \
(rpm -qa --qf "%{n}-%{v}.%{arch}\n"|grep -i glibc-3.5.i386) && \
rpm -e glibc-2.5.i386 && \
rpm -e glibc-3.5.i386

Or you can use 'if' if you'd like,.. this is quick and simple.

Code:

Lookup package && lookup package && if both are there, remove 1st && if that worked, remove the second.
