If there are characters like '-' in part of package name you can improve this script by replacing for x in `ls -1 | cut -f1 -d '-' | sort | uniq` with for x in `ls -1 | sed -e "s/-[0-9]/@/g" | cut -f1 -d '@' | sort | uniq` so it will cut of part behind dash if there are numbers (version number) after dash. 2010/5/20 Marcin Stempkowicz <m.stempkowicz@xxxxxxxxx> > > Hm.. do you really need perl?

If there are characters like '-' in part of package name (like my-package-0.89-2.i386.rpm) this will give you wrong results.
