Does rpm maintain logs of all install and removals?
rpm does not maintain logs.
rpm -qa --last will show when packages were added.
rpm-4.4.6 and later also maintains forward/backward links of previous
versions of packages.
E.g. here's whate the currently installed yum package replaced:
# rpm -q --blink yum
yum-3.1.0-2.fc7.noarch.rpm
<= yum-3.0.1-6.fc7.noarch.rpm
I know we have the rpmpkgs logs in /var/log but how do we know if
an install actually went ok?
You know by examining whatever rpm command was run.
Meaning is there a way to see the full install log of each package
installed (without having to specify the -v at the time of install).
Add -v to whatever is invoking rpm. Its not like rpm is invoking
itself ...
For example, how could I see if someone installed a package but it
actually failed one of the post install scripts but still
installed...etc.?
Ask the someone is the only reliable answer at the moment ;-)
Seriously, better could/should be done.
