That code is not a good idea and will go bananas when we change the db format/version. I've implemented a searchNames() method to pkgSack in yum which will let you search very quickly for multiple package names. directly accessing the sqlite dbs without going through yums' layers is going to break in odd ways. In much the same way that going directly to the rpmdb w/o accessing it via rpm's layer will break in odd ways. yum 3.2.17 which will be out this week will have searchNames() to help your group case. -sv -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
