Install the rpmdb-redhat package, which allows you to querry packages which aren't installed. This will allow you to do: $ rpm -q --redhatprovides libz.so.1 zlib-1.1.3-25.7 > 2.

Yes, you can manually update the database, but you probably don't want to do that. If you want to tell rpm a package is installed, (did I mention you don't want to do this?) You can run: rpm -ivh --justdb (perhaps --nodeps --force) /path/to/package.rpm - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (GNU/Linux) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj1e1xYACgkQn/07WoAb/SuqmwCgk20ERciovrXkUxnD0YCTRaQB 5AYAn0iqwsfhLyAT7kT+MnzKnNu1huws =O9ns -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
