rpm listing
Sorry to be such a newbie, but can some one please tell me the #rpm command that will list ALL the packages in the system? There have been things I tried with rpm -i and rpm -q; however, nothing seems to make a listing of packages.
Thanks in Advance. |
rpm -qa
also rpm -qf filename to know which package the file belongs Get the freely available Maximum Rpm book for a load of informa Cheers Z |
more options
rpm -qa | less
shoves them all into less. You can move up and down with page keys, or arrows, and q quits. This is different, but if you want to know what all the rpms do, take your file browser, in KDe it's Konqueror, into the CD, and type rpm -qpi * | less or for permanent file, rpm -qpi * > /path/filename.txt and it will produce a permanent text file of rpm info or descriptions that you can peruse with a word processor. Likewise, rpm -qpl * > /path/filename.txt will produce a very large text file of every file in every rpm on that CD. As I typed, I realized I have failed miserably in my snooping in that I have not tried rpm -qpil * > /path/filename.txt to try to get them both. I do not think it will work with two options, but I should try it when I get time. |
