Thread: Substring search for installed packages?

  1. 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.
