You can also have shared files, when the contents, ownership, and permissions on the files match, and rpm will list all matches. I can't think of an example off the top of my head, but I know I've seen it in the past. Oh, one example is multilib (and I don't believe this behavior is multilib-specific): $ rpm -qf /usr/share/doc/glibc-2*/README glibc-2.16-33.fc18.x86_64 glibc-2.16-33.fc18.i686 -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
