The format of the output is a string of 8 charac
ters, a possible "c" denoting a configuration file,
and then the file name. Each of the 8 characters
denotes the result of a comparison of one attribute
of the file to the value of that attribute recorded
in the RPM database. A single "." (period) means
the test passed. The following characters denote
failure of certain tests:
5 MD5 sum
S File size
L Symlink
T Mtime
D Device
U User
G Group
M Mode (includes permissions and file type)
So the '?' is in the Symlink field. You can also do:
$ rpm -ql --dump
to get a list of the files and some information about them. Hope this
helps a bit.
