Thanks! The 'rpm -qc package_name' is very handy. I notice though that I have difficulties to grasp rpm vs zypper vs yast2. openSUSE seems to offer 3 tools that mostly do the same, but not always. Sometimes you need rpm other times you need zypper. Where can I find more info to put these tools in (the openSUSE) perspective? -- Regards, Aniruddha Please adhere to the OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_mailing_list_netiquette -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
