You can query the rpm database with these powerful commands:
bash$ rpm -qpl foobar-1.0-1.i386.rpm ....(list of files in a rpm
package)
bash$ rpm -ql foobar-1.0-1 ....(list of files from already installed
package)
bash$ rpm -qpR foobar-1.0-1.i386.rpm ....(list packages on which this
package depends)
bash$ rpm -qR foobar-1.0-1 ....(list packages on which this installed
package depends)
bash$ # rpm -q foo ...(print package name, version, and release number
of package foo)
foo-2.0-1
bash$ rpm -qa | less ....(list all the installed package)
bash$ rpm -qa | grep -i kde ....(list all the installed package
matching kde)
bash$ rpm -qif /bin/ls ....(list the package which installed the file
/bin/ls)
