Query multiple packages
 

Hello all,

I remember querying multiple rpms once using rpm -qa | grep -i <package>, <package> but it is not working for me now. Am I doing something wrong here?

Does anyone know how I can search for a let say... 10 packages in one search string?

Thanks,

egrep -i "str1|str2"

or

grep -i -e pattern1 -e pattern2

comma
 

I would omit the comma between the package names: 'rpm' will consider the comma being part of the package name or (when surrounded by spaces) think it is a package name.

Hope this helps,
Regards
