Description Rahul Sundaram 2006-02-27 13:22:45 UTC

Description of problem:

Architecture is not detailed in the default rpm query (rpm -qa ) and confuses
users into believing that there are multiple duplicate packages installed on the
system

Actual results:

rpm -qa does not show architecture details


Expected results:

should show architecture details by default.


Additional info:

The current argument is that changing the query results would break scripts that
incorrectly use screen scrapping instead of the API and library. Testing this in
FC6 development cycle would help find and fix such bugs. If all hell breaks
loose we can disable it again during FC5 GA release.

Fixed in rpm-4.4.5 (at least).

Changing the default --query --all output may break legacy user scripts.

Add to /etc/rpm/macros or ~/.rpmmacros:
    %_query_all_fmt         %%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}
