rpm: one type of query/verify may be performed at one time

when I try this. I am using rpm-3.0.4-0.48

Matt

I agree, and I have found that when I need to clear some space on an RPM
based system, something like the following is useful:

rpm -qa -qf "%{SIZE} %{NAME}\n" | sort -nr

which as you can guess will list the rpms installed in order of decreasi=
ng
size.

Regards,
Martin.
