Description Ville Skyttä 2008-09-06 16:07:11 UTC 
rpm -q just exits silently when fed an unsupported file or a dir:

rpm -qp /bin      # directory
rpm -qp /bin/rpm  # binary file

The exit status is fine (1).  I'd additionally expect to see some kind of an error message.

Yup, fixed upstream now...
Comment 2 Panu Matilainen 2008-10-01 09:03:07 UTC 
...and rawhide too now (rpm-4.5.90-0.git8514.1)
