rpm question

[Chu Jeang Tan]

How to query for a list of packages that depended on a given package?

I've used "rpm -q --whatrequires pkg" and it does not show my expected packages.

Also, how to list a list of RPMs sorted by install date?

rpm -q -R file-name    (this seems to work ok)

rpm -q -a --last

latest rpm installs are at the top of the list.

Try:

rpm -e --test package

rpm -q -a --queryformat '%{INSTALLTIME} %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{RELEASE}.%{ARCH}\n' | sort -n
