You have to go grokking for special arguments to give rpm to figure out which package is which, should you have a reason to operate on only one of them. Most other distros have chosen to tag the package names in a way that they can be identified visually; this is not "better" in a technical sense but sure is easier to use. _______________________________________________ Rpm-list mailing list Rpm-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rpm-list
