I thought that in the case of a file that IS owned by a package, rpm -qf was displaying the name of the owned file. So I was expecting a file name to appear once, not 2000+ times!
It's now occurring to me that in the case of a file that is owned by a package, it's listing the name of the owning package, not the name of the owned file. Am I correct?
That is correct.
And now I see why you're confused. It doesn't show the filename, only the package name, so you'll see an endless list of the package name, with possibly only a few filenames mixed in.
ok.
Once I've gone through another weekly patch without new problems (next Thursday, I hope), I'll tag this thread solved.
By the way, thank-you for reviving "wc -l" in my mind. A long long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I knew that command. But it had faded away over the years. Or maybe last month's run of remove-retired-packages removed that from my head, along with removing rkhunter, spectacle, musescore, chkrootkit, probably kde, and more that I haven't yet stumbled onto.
