Ok I have a couple of questions:
1 )
I tried:
$ dnf repoquery --installed kernel*-5.6.*
kernel-0:5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-0:5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
kernel-core-0:5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-core-0:5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
kernel-devel-0:5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-devel-0:5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
kernel-headers-0:5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-modules-0:5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-modules-0:5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-0:5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-modules-extra-0:5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
Where is the extra 0 in " kernel-0 " coming from ? If you see the rpm -qa
output the zero is not present there:
$ rpm -qa | grep ^kernel | grep '5\.6'
kernel-devel-5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-headers-5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-core-5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
kernel-core-5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
kernel-modules-5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
kernel-5.6.8-200.fc31.x86_64
2)
How do I know which is the epoch and the version and the release in NEVRA ?
And are there any standard separators between them ?
kernel-5.6.10-300.fc32.x86_64
Which is what here ? I know the name is 'kernel' that one was easy. :-)
Thanks for your help. I want to use DNF wherever I can since it is the more
standard way to do package queries.
