Hey Group;

I was going to check the RPM database for various pieces of software 
versions.  Say like Open Office by "rpm --qa *".  To which the rpm 
database comes up with Amarok-1.4.6 only.  I would have expected a dump 
of the programss.  So I did a remake of the RPM database "rpm 
--rebuilddb" then "rpm --initdb" and still it finds only Amarok.
This was done as "root".  Am I doing it wrong or is there some other new 
trick.  "rpm -q" rpmfilename seems to work but rpm "-q *" or "-qa *" 
fails to work.  Is this a Senior Moment or bad memory problem.

Ultimately I was going to "rpm -qa * | grep open"
