Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 427055
Bad shell command in sample code
Last modified: 2008-01-02 17:15:23 EST
Description of problem : The documentation shows a command to save the package list as : rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH} > ~/old-pkglist.txt' Obviously the single quote at the end is misplaced, and also a --qf option should be followed by a '\n', otherwise the output is not suitable for use with diff. After correcting these two errors : rpm -qa --qf '%{NAME} %{VERSION}-%{RELEASE} %{ARCH}\n' > ~/old-pkglist.txt Note that the error is multiplicated in the various translations.
Good observations, thanks. I'm not sure if/when Paul has an update to the F8 version planned, but such updates usually include time to update the translations. Fortunately, we might be able to just do the tweak in all the translated versions, since that block is probably not a translated string. Reassigning to package maintainer.
Fixed in CVS and to be published shortly. Thanks for catching this problem.
