`rpm -qa' shows the package names (and versions and releases). This command

shows that plus architecture. Is there a shorter command that does the same, i.e. shows name, version, release and arch? It's hard to remember and type that long line. I want something like
rpm -qa [a simple option that shows arch IN ADDITION TO what the preceding option i.e. -qa shows]
Hi Yong,
What I often do is create a file called /etc/rpm/macros.query_all_fmt and
add the following content:
%_query_all_fmt %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
This will automatically show the architecture in a way that is compatible
with yum if you do rpm -qa.
This, however, will break any programs that does not specifically
provide a query format and somehow expects the default output (without
architecture).
To be honest, I think the current default is a design bug. Not specifying
an architecture results in non-unique output and causes confusion with
users.
