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" -- 73 de Donn Washburn 307 Savoy Street Email: " n5xwb@hal-pc.org " Sugar Land, TX 77478 LL# 1.281.242.3256 Ham Callsign N5XWB HAMs : " n5xwb@arrl.net " VoIP via Gizmo: bmw_87kbike / via Skype: n5xwbg BMW MOA #: 4146 - Ambassador " http://counter.li.org " #279316 Did you know?
