Description of problem: The repoquery(1) manual page claims that the repoquery utility allows a user to display information about a package even when the package is not installed (for example, the "repoquery -l <package_name>" is supposed to produce output similar to "rpm -ql <package_name>", etc.). However, an attempt to use any of the command line options described in the "PACKAGE QUERY OPTIONS" section of the aforementioned manual page does not produce any output or error. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): yum-utils-1.1.30-6.el6.noarch yum-rhn-plugin-0.9.1-26.el6_1.1.noarch yum-3.2.29-17.el6.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in as the root user: ~]$ su - Password: 2. Make sure the package you are about to query is in available repositories, for example: ~]# yum info net-snmp Loaded plugins: refresh-packagekit, rhnplugin Installed Packages Name : net-snmp Arch : x86_64 ... 3. Attempt to query information about the package or list its content: ~]# repoquery -i net-snmp ~]# repoquery -l net-snmp ~]# echo $? 0 Actual results: The command terminates without output and returns exit code 0 (success). Expected results: Output similar to the one in Fedora 14, for example: ~]# repoquery -i net-snmp Name : net-snmp Version : 5.5 Release : 31.el6 ... Additional info: The system is up-to-date and is registered with RHN Classic.
This is due to rhn, you need to pass --plugins to get access to the RHN repos. RHSM should solve this.
