List patches in linux

R.O. — Thu, 15 Jan 2004 05:29:43 GMT

Hi,

How can I see the patches installed in a Red Hat linux system? I know rpm -qa list the packages, but I do not know if it list patches also. Is there something similar to "swlist | grep PH*" (i.e.) in HPUX?

Thanks and regards

Hello,

it lists everything you did install using RPM, i.e. if the patch came as an RPM it will be in, while packages you did install from source tarballs will not be in.

Greetings, Martin

Hi,

I'm not aware of such a command as 'patches' are full packages reinstalled.
rpm --last -qa will liste packages by date of install, so all packages more recent than original install are updated packages.

The Linux patching model is different than HP-UX.

When you patch apache, the version number is updated.
