Tips on RPM (Part 1)

Read up on some good tips on  RHEL / Fedora RPM from Linux Format magazine. thought I list it down to use it in the future.

1. To list a specific package, you use
   

   rpm -qa|grep (package)

2. To find out what package a file came from
   

   rpm -qf /usr/sbin/sshd

3. To show details of a not-yet-installed package
   

   rpm -qip Singular-release.rpm

4. Find out what the package depends on
   

   rpm -qR openssh-server

5. Show the files contained in an installed package
   

   rpm -qi openssh-server
