hello mr. day!
will $rpm -qi tcl and $rpm -qi tk work even if i haven't installed tcl/tk?
no, this syntax is only for installed packages. if, however, you have an RPM package file in front of you, you can do many of the same queries by adding the "p" option:
$ rpm -qpi tcl-1.2.3.4.i386.rpm
or whatever the package file name is.
