It shows a package multiple times, and it shows the repository url, and if it's installed or not. Also, it abbreviates the package name,even on a really wide terminal. $ zypper search rpm * Geïnstalleerde pakketten worden gelezen [100%] S | Installatiebron | Type | Naam | Versie | Arch --+-------------------------------------------------------------------+--------+--------------+------------+------- | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | apt4rpm | 0.69.3-112 | noarch i | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | pakket | deltarpm | 3.4-36 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | deltarpm | 3.4-36 | i586 i | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | deltarpm | 3.4-36 | x86_64 | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | pakket | krpmbuilder | 1.2-126 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | krpmbuilder | 1.2-126 | i586 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | krpmbuilder | 1.2-126 | x86_64 | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | pakket | patchrpm | 1.1-71 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | patchrpm | 1.1-71 | i586 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | patchrpm | 1.1-71 | x86_64 i | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | pakket | rpm | 4.4.2-140 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpm | 4.4.2-140 | i586 i | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpm | 4.4.2-140 | x86_64 i | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | pakket | rpm-devel | 4.4.2-140 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpm-devel | 4.4.2-140 | i586 i | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpm-devel | 4.4.2-140 | x86_64 i | openSUSE-10.3-DVD 10.3 | pakket | rpm-python | 4.4.2-164 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpm-python | 4.4.2-164 | i586 i | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpm-python | 4.4.2-164 | x86_64 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpmlint-mini | 1.0-53 | i586 | http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/openSUSE:10.3/standard/ | pakket | rpmlint-mini | 1.0-53 | x86_64 The output of apt-cache search is much more helpful to me (this bug relates to #309714: search -d not working): $ sudo chroot /other apt-cache search rpm repository apt-rpm-repository - tools to create an APT RPM repository createrepo - generates the metadata necessary for a RPM package repository python-sqlitecachec - A fast metadata parser for YUM yum - Advanced front-end for rpm -- 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.
