why my firewalld shows 2 output

thinman · 02-17-2019, 10:55 PM

i'm still new and learning about centOS 7 ..

then when i explore on my centOS 7 PC, i'm just wondering after i run the command rpm -qa | grep firewalld it shows 2 output:

firewalld-0.5.3-5.el7.noarch
firewalld-filesystem-0.5.3-5.el7.noarch

i mean i watch Youtube centOS7 tutorials but in it, it only shows 1 output which is firewalld-0.5.3-5.el7.noarch

i'll cheerish a lot if you can help me

thanks.

Since you're a CentOS user....

https://centos.pkgs.org/7/centos-x86...oarch.rpm.html

This package provides directories and rpm macros which
are required by other packages that add firewalld configuration files.

It may (or may not) be required, depending on what other software is installed that interfaces to firewalld. I note the following is mentioned...

Help yourself - packages can be queried from a terminal

Code:

dnf info firewalld-filesystem

See the manpage.

syg00, CentOS still uses yum, and not dnf yet. So that would actually be the following instead;

Code:

yum info firewalld-filesystem

Oops - thanks for that. Believe it or not I have actually installed CentOS 7, but it didn't last long. Obviously ...

Well, dnf is coming to CentOS, it's only a matter of time. I can't say what CentOS's developers are thinking, but I'd expect that it might be when the CentOS 8.x series are released, that yum will be replaced by dnf. From what I've seen, most of the options are the same or very similar anyway.
