From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; rv:1.7.3) Gecko/20041020 Firefox/0.10.1 Description of problem: I am a new user to Fedora, but I do remember reading before about the package info option -qi somewhere. But I checked `rpm --help` for the proper command and I got: ======================================================= Query options (with -q or --query): -c, --configfiles list all configuration files -d, --docfiles list all documentation files --dump dump basic file information -l, --list list files in package --queryformat=QUERYFORMAT use the following query format -s, --state display the states of the listed files -a, --all query/verify all packages -f, --file query/verify package(s) owning file -g, --group query/verify package(s) in group -p, --package query/verify a package file --specfile query a spec file --whatrequires query/verify the package(s) which require a dependency --whatprovides query/verify the package(s) which provide a dependency ======================================================= Nothing about the -i option exists here. A site tells me that `rpm -qi` displays "package information, including name, version, and description." Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm-4.3.2-21 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. rpm --help 2. 3. Actual Results: -i option and its purpose missing from Query Options section of rpm help Expected Results: Should be a blurb about being able to use the -i option in conjunction with -q. Additional info:
The --info long option is in rpmquery --help --info list descriptive information from package(s) The short -i option cannot be documented in --help because it has at least 3 different interpretations, depending on context.
