package Public is not installed [...]
That's because the shell expands the * wildcard to all files in the folder, i.e. like doing 'rpm -q $(ls *)'. So you have to either escape the character by prefixing it with \. But even then it won't work as rpm doesn't understand wildcards. If you want to list all installed packes use 'rpm -qa'.

and "rpm -qa" *does* understand wildcards: susi:~ # rpm -qa 'tex*' texlive-bin-2009-15.1.x86_64 texlive-latex-2009-15.1.noarch texinfo-4.13a-10.5.x86_64 texlive-bin-latex-2009-15.1.x86_64 texlive-2009-15.1.noarch *much* better than the old pipe-n-grep way ;-) -- Stefan Seyfried "Any ideas, John?"

But 'rpm -q' does not, so 'rpm -q \*' will return 'package * not installed' or some such. Good to know that -qa does take wildcards. Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org

You can also use rpmqpack to list all packages. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-factory+help@opensuse.org
