I had to go back and forth a bit with the developers, but it's built from the most recent svn update of curl-java, and, from what I see, is exactly what I wanted to install is installed the way I want it installed. However, I don't understand why the rpm query isn't returning the expected result....[root@arrakis i386]# rpm -qa curl-java-0.2.3-2.i386 [root@arrakis i386]# rpm -qa curl-java-0.2.3-2.i386.rpmFirst, don't use "-qa" unless you need to. Using "-qa" is really only useful if you're matching a glob-style pattern against all package names. For instance, "rpm -qa curl*".
More precise:: rpm -qa curl\* or rpm -qa 'curl*' or rpm -qa "curl*" (without \ or ' or ", * is interpreted by your shell)
If you're not using a glob-style
pattern, "-qa" is quite slow and provides no benefit over "-q".Second, use only the name of the package with both query styles (again, unless you need to):rpm -q curl-java rpm -qa curl-javaUsing the name only will work with both query styles. Using the version and arch only works with "-q".
