Substring search for installed packages?
If I want to search for all available packages that match a substring,
using the command line, I use urpmq. For example, "urpmq svg" lists a
couple of dozen packages containing the substring "svg".
How do I do a similar search limited to just those packages that are
already installed?

"rpm -qa | grep X" always does it for me.

Thanks. I'm having one of those "can't see the bleedin' obvious" days.
