rpm

SafeQuery RPM packages

rpm -qa | grep <pkg>

Mostly for queries: -qi details a package, -qf maps a file back to its owning package.

Examples

  • rpm -qf /usr/sbin/sshdWhich package owns this file

Syntax

rpm [-qa] [-qi pkg] [-ivh file.rpm]

Before you run it

Queries are safe; -e removal affects deps.
