Christian, you can speedupdate the script a lot by query the rpm once for a single package instead of multiple times. Have a look at the aptate script of apt4rpm project (providing the tools to keep your system up to date, so might want to check those tools as well). Here is an excerpt from the aptate tool: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/apt4rpm/apt4rpm/server/aptate... n?rev=1.138.2.31&only_with_tag=libxml2_branch&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-ma rkup RPM_QUALIFIER="RPM_QRYRES RPM_TYPE=%{SOURCERPM}" RPM_QUALIFIER="$RPM_QUALIFIER RPM_NVR=%{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}" RPM_QUALIFIER="$RPM_QUALIFIER RPM_ARCH=%{ARCH}\n" RPM_OUT=$(rpm -qp -requires --queryformat "$RPM_QUALIFIER" $FILENAME 2>/dev/null) if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then RPM_OUT=$(echo "$RPM_OUT" | sed 's+rpmlib(PatchRPMs).*$+RPM_QRYRES RPM_PATCHRPM=yes+' | grep ^RPM_QRYRES | cut -d" " -f2- ) eval $RPM_OUT aptate can be found at http://apt4rpm.sf.net
