BTW, which graphical interface are you referring to? YaST? Is it really able to search for package files?

OK, i guess it is, but only for installed packages. We won't do anything like that in zypper since rpm does this just fine - 'rpm -qf /full/path' or 'rpm -qfa | grep string'. What would make sense is to be able to parse the filelists from repo metadata _on demand_ and use this data to search (and to other nice things) in files of all packages in repos. But that's somehow complicated. Duncan, do you think we could at least look into this in near future? Should i enter a FATE entry? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

My request would be to provide this functionality for any kind of file via zypper. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
