NAME
repoquery - query information from Yum repositories
SYNOPSIS
repoquery [options] <item ...>
repoquery -a [options]
DESCRIPTION
repoquery is a program for querying information from YUM repositories similarly to rpm
queries.
GENERAL OPTIONS
--querytags
List valid queryformat tags and exit..
--version
Report program version and exit.
--repoid=<repo>
Specify which repository to query. Using this option disables all repositories not
explicitly enabled with --repoid option (can be used multiple times). By default
repoquery uses whatever repositories are enabled in YUM configuration.
--enablerepo=<repo>
In addition to the default set, query the given additional repository, even if it
is disabled in YUM configuration. Can be used multiple times.
--disablerepo=<repo>
Do not query the given repository, even if it is enabled in YUM configuration. Can
be used multiple times.
--repofrompath=<repoid>,<path/url>
Specify a path or url to a repository (same path as in a baseurl) to add to the
repositories for this query. This option can be used multiple times. If you want to
view only the pkgs from this repository combine this with --repoid. The repoid for
the repository is specified by <repoid>.
--plugins
Enable YUM plugin support.
-q, --query
For rpmquery compatibility, doesn't do anything.
-h, --help
Help; display a help message and then quit.
--quiet
Run quietly: no warnings printed to stderr.
--verbose
Produce verbose output.
-C, --cache
Tells repoquery to run entirely from YUM cache - does not download any metadata or
update the cache. Queries in this mode can fail or give partial/incorrect results
if the cache isn't fully populated beforehand with eg "yum makecache".
--tempcache
Create and use a private cache instead of the main YUM cache. This is used by
default when run as non-root user.
-c <config file>, --config=<config file>
Use alternative config file (default is /etc/yum.conf).
--releasever=version
Pretend the current release version is the given string. This is very useful when
combined with --installroot. You can also use --releasever=/ to take the releasever
information from outside the installroot. Note that with the default upstream
cachedir, of /var/cache/yum, using this option will corrupt your cache (and you can
use $releasever in your cachedir configuration to stop this).
--installroot=root
Specifies an alternative installroot, relative to which all packages will be
installed. Think of this like doing "chroot <root> yum" except using --installroot
allows yum to work before the chroot is created. Note: You may also want to use
the option --releasever=/ when creating the installroot as otherwise the $relea-
sever value is taken from the rpmdb within the installroot (and thus. will be
empty, before creation).
--setopt=option=value
Set any config option in yum config or repo files. For options in the global config
just use: --setopt=option=value for repo options use: --setopt=repoid.option=value
PACKAGE QUERY OPTIONS
-i, --info
Show general information about package similarly to "rpm -qi"
-l, --list
List files in package.
-R, --requires
List package dependencies.
--resolve
When used with --requires, resolve capabilities to originating packages.
--provides
List capabilities package provides.
--obsoletes
List capabilities obsoleted by package.
--conflicts
List capabilities conflicting with package.
--changelog
List package changelog.
--location
Show a location where the package could be downloaded from. For example: wget
`repoquery --location yum`
-s, --source
Show package source RPM name.
--srpm Operate on corresponding source RPM.
--groupmember PACKAGE
List the repodata groups (yumgroups.xml) belongs to (if any).
--nvr Use name-version-release output format (rpm query default)
--nevra
Use name-epoch:version-release.architecture output format (default)
--envra
Use epoch:name-version-release.architecture output format (easier to parse than
nevra)
--qf=FORMAT, --queryformat=FORMAT
Specify custom output format for queries. You can add ":date", ":day" and ":iso-
date" to all the tags that are a time, and you can add ":k", ":m", ":g", ":t" and
":h" to sizes. You can also specify field width as in sprintf (Eg. %-20{name})
--output [text|ascii-tree|dot-tree]
Output format which can be used with --requires/--whatrequires/--obsoletes/--con-
flicts. Default output is 'text'.
--level [all|any int]
In combination with --output ascii-tree|dot-tree this option specifies the number
of level to print on the tree. Default level is 'all'.
PACKAGE SELECTION OPTIONS
-a, --all
Query all available packages (for rpmquery compatibility / shorthand for repoquery
'*')
--show-duplicates
Query all versions of packages.
-f, --file FILE
Query package owning FILE.
--whatobsoletes CAPABILITY
Query all packages that obsolete CAPABILITY.
--whatconflicts CAPABILITY
Query all packages that conflict with CAPABILITY.
--whatprovides CAPABILITY
Query all packages that provide CAPABILITY.
--whatrequires CAPABILITY
Query all packages that require CAPABILITY.
--alldeps
When used with --whatrequires, look for non-explicit dependencies in addition to
explicit ones (e.g. files and Provides in addition to package names). This is the
default.
--exactdeps
When used with --whatrequires, search for dependencies only exactly as given. This
is effectively the opposite of --alldeps.
--recursive
When used with --whatrequires, and --requires --resolve, query packages recur-
sively.
--archlist=ARCH1[,ARCH2...]
Limit the query to packages of given architecture(s). Valid values are all archi-
tectures known to rpm/yum such as 'i386' and 'src' for source RPMS. Note that repo-
query will now change yum's "arch" to the first value in the archlist. So "--arch-
list=i386,i686" will change yum's canonical arch to i386, but allow packages of
i386 and i686.
--pkgnarrow=WHAT
Limit what packages are considered for the query. Valid values for WHAT are:
installed, available, recent, updates, extras, all and repository (default).
--installed
Restrict query ONLY to installed pkgs - disables all repos and only acts on rpmdb.
GROUP QUERY OPTIONS
-i, --info
Show general information about group.
-l, --list
List packages belonging to (required by) group.
--grouppkgs=WHAT
Specify what type of packages are queried from groups. Valid values for WHAT are
all, mandatory, default, optional.
--requires
List groups required by group.
GROUP SELECTION OPTIONS
-a Query all available groups.
-g, --group
Query groups instead of packages.
EXAMPLES
List all packages whose name contains 'perl':
repoquery '*perl*'
List all packages depending on openssl:
repoquery --whatrequires openssl
List all package names and the repository they come from, nicely formatted:
repoquery -a --qf "%-20{repoid} %{name}"
List name and summary of all available updates (if any), nicely formatted:
repoquery -a --pkgnarrow=updates --qf "%{name}:\n%{summary}\n"
List optional packages in base group:
repoquery -g --grouppkgs=optional -l base
List build requirements from 'anaconda' source rpm:
repoquery --requires anaconda.src
List packages which BuildRequire gail-devel
repoquery --archlist=src --whatrequires gail-devel
NB: This command will only work if you have repositories enabled which include
srpms.
MISC
Specifying package names
A package can be referred to in all queries with any of the following:
name
name.arch
name-ver
name-ver-rel
name-ver-rel.arch
name-epoch:ver-rel.arch
epoch:name-ver-rel.arch
For example: repoquery -l kernel-2.4.1-10.i686
Additionally wildcards (shell-style globs) can be used.
FILES
As repoquery uses YUM libraries for retrieving all the information, it relies on YUM con-
figuration for its default values like which repositories to use. Consult YUM documenta-
tion for details:
/etc/yum.conf
/etc/yum/repos.d/
/var/cache/yum/

BUGS
There are of course no bugs, but should you find any, you should first consult the FAQ
section on http://yum.baseurl.org/wiki/Faq and if unsuccessful in finding a resolution
contact the mailing list: yum-devel AT lists.org. To file a bug use
http://bugzilla.redhat.com for Fedora/RHEL/Centos related bugs and
http://yum.baseurl.org/report for all other bugs.
