Do you mean all installed packages on your system? Try this

awk -F "|" '!/^#/ { if ( $2 == "install" ) print $1, ":", $3"-"$4}' /var/log/zypp/history | more

Hope is helpful for you.

Nice. Not quite what I needed this time, but appears to be useful for other circumstances. I was looking for a list of the patches (so I could query the patches for the patch info, e.g., via "zypper info -t patch openSUSE-2014-22"), not the assoc packages.

IIRC, there used to be some way to do that on earlier versions of SUSE/openSUSE.

It is helpful for me to be able to go back and check to see if the patch for, e.g., a particular CVE or Bugtraq ID, had already been installed on the system. Is this info stored anywhere on the system? If not, is there a way to make it so?

Thanks,

Hi With the pch option

zypper pch |grep "Installed"

Or to avoid grep

zypper se -t patch -i -s

Hi Yes that works for the moment as well, but doesn't on SLE (cross distro scripts), plus the pch switch offers more information

also works: zypper lp --all Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

It does not show installed patches unless I miss something obvious. At least not on SLES11 SP3 (this is what I have access to right now).

It seems to work for me on a SLES 11 SP3 machine. e.g. it lists the MozillaFirefox patch as "not needed" and the newest Firefox 24.4.0esr is installed. Ciao, Marcus -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org

Well, it is not quite exactly the same. Patch may be unneeded because it is either already installed or because package it patches is not present. So it does not directly answer original question (how to list installed patches).

Well, patches are not actually installed, as they only include package >= version-release relations that must be met by the system. I think your intented behaviour currently needs some manual scripting.

Interesting. I tried the above both with and without the "-s" option and the output contained very different info (though both for only installed patches as desired). Zypper is a weird and wonderful program, though some of the behavior WRT what is listed in the man page doesn't seem very intuitive to me. Now, anyone know how to display the time the patch had been applied (instlled) (other than by looking up the assoc RPMs and their inst times), preferably via zypper cmds? Also, from the above, it seems clear to me that there is quite a bit of metadata the zypper keeps on hand. Is there some type of FORMAT capability with assoc directives, (e.g., "%D" to print out the date) to allow customizing of the info listings? (cf: "date" or "find" for a couple of Linux cmds with such capabilities).

Zypper is a weird and wonderful program, though some of the behavior WRT what is listed in the man page doesn't seem very intuitive to me.

"-s" lists extended information including versions so I personally find it more or less consistent (for patches it lists patch number which is exactly what I needed). That is the same for packages.

As was explained elsewhere, patch is not installed in the proper sense. What gets installed is RPM, and patch simply lists minimal version of RPM. What follows, is

- you need to check when RPM was installed - you do not have direct one-to-one match between patches and install date. Basically, if you have three patch versions that supersede each other and install the latest one all three patches will appear as "installed" but you installed RPM only once.

That makes sense given what I've observed. Does that imply, however, that the list of "installed" patches is derived by reverse-matching the list of currently installed RPMs against the patch's minimal RPM versions (which, apparently, are listed in a "Conflicts" section)? In other words, that there is no actual list of applied patches on the system and that the list is derived from the repo metadata and the installed RPM metadata?

...

Also, from the above, it seems clear to me that there is quite a bit of metadata the zypper keeps on hand. Is there some type of FORMAT capability with assoc directives, (e.g., "%D" to print out the date) to allow customizing of the info listings?

Yes, a bit of scripting support around zypper queries would be nice.

Yes! Thanks, --Phil -- Philip Amadeo Saeli psaeli@zorodyne.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
