package version

[Jagadesh]

When i use
$rpm -qa
This lists all the installed rpm.

How can i find the maximum details of a particular rpm?
How can i find the version of a particular rpm (say gcc)?

Thanks

Hi,

As root I use

#rpm -qla gcc | less

not realy releated to rpm but I find it usefull to find information on a particular ressource

#locate gcc | less

I find this command also usefull, It requires update to have run

#man -k cc | less

Hope this help otherwise ask for more

For version number just rpm -q

rpm -q gcc

yields


gcc-2.96-113


My version originated from Red Hat 7.3 and is nearly fully updated.

rpm -qa |grep gcc
rpm -qip packagename

[Stuart Browne]

rpm -qi

the 'p' will look for a local file, not in the installed packages.

[Claudio Cilloni]

$ rpm -q -l

will show the list of the installed files that belong to that package.

Ciao
