26 Nov 07 Query RPM database/packages and list their architecture
Posted by Hans-Henry Jakobsen
If you use the –queryformat argument with rpm it is possible to query RPMs for different architectures installed
# rpm -qa --queryformat %{NAME}-%{VERSION}-%{ARCH}\\n | grep dbus-glib | sort
Result
dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.5-i386
dbus-glib-0.22-12.EL.5-x86_64
This can also be used in one of my previous posts: Remove duplicate packages when querying the rpm database.
