Bret,
this doesn't work here:
#############################################
$ rpm -qf `find /usr/bin -type f -mtime -14`
findutils-4.1.5-4
findutils-4.1.5-4
##############################################
[minutes later ...]
oops,Bret, just found some solution:
########################
rpm -qa --last
######################
I think that's it ... although it gives a bit too much of output ..
(just remembering the words "Keep it simple ...!" Was it A. Feininger, the
American photographer, who said this ... ??)
Thanks for your help, Bret.
Wolfgang
