(which might be the reviewer's), Try this example:

I did. I got one of these per package:

error: incorrect format: missing { after %

Am I using the wrong shell? Have some alias defined that is screwing
it up? I was pleased to find a description of --qf in the rpm man page
(no examples of course) but no reference to %vendorn. Is it a typo?

I tried to take the advice of the error message...

rpm -qa --qf '%{vendorn}' | sort | uniq -c

error: incorrect format: unknown tag

Various other simpleminded variants fail. Apparently someone familiar
with printf might be able to fix this, but I am clueless. Is there a
way to make it work?

That was the point, the reviewer (correctly) pointed out an error, then made two of his own: he left out the {} and he forgot that the n should be \n.
