While doing those "rpm -qf" commands, 2 questions came to mind.
1. Suppose [dir] has sub-directories.  If I do "rpm -qf [dir]/*", will it also check [dir]'s sub-directories?
If no, then
2. How do get the sub-directories checked without having to do them manually one-by-one?

find [dir] -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rpm -qf


I cooked up a simple test /lib/modules/ directory with a subdirectory and a few small text files.
Worked fine.

Tried this on /lib/modules/6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64/.
Some files got listed (file names only) a huge number of times (multiple 40-line screens per file).  These are (of course) owned by packages.  I noticed kernel-modules-core-6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64 to be listed an especially large number of times.
Why?  Can this repetition be prevented?

I'm not sure what you mean.  Each file should only get listed once.  If you see otherwise, please show what you're seeing.
Most of the files are going to be owned by "kernel-modules-core" because that's what's there.  There will likely be a few that are owned by kernel module subpackages for less common hardware.

What repetition are you wanting to prevent?


Doing this:

-bash.3[~]: find /lib/modules/6.11.5-200.fc40.x86_64/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 rpm -qf > findout.txt
-bash.4[~]: ls -l findout.txt
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 179205 Nov  8 19:12 findout.txt
-bash.5[~]:

and then using "view", the file findout.txt is 4437 lines long.  List rules forbid attaching something that big.  Shall I send that to you privately?
