Your query is weird, btw, since you should either list files or "Provides" but both at once makes no sense for what you want to demonstrate. > $ find /usr -name \*vlc\* > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libaccess_gnomevfs_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/access/libxcb_screen_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/audio_output/libpulse_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/control/libglobalhotkeys_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/gui/libqt4_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/gui/libskins2_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/misc/libnotify_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/misc/libsvg_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/misc/libxosd_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_filter/libopencv_example_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_filter/libopencv_wrapper_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_filter/libpanoramix_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_output/libaa_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_output/libcaca_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_glx_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_window_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_x11_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/video_output/libxcb_xv_plugin.so > /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/visualization/libprojectm_plugin.so The full show, please. You don't believe me (and I'm certainly not an RPM newbie), so quote a full terminal session. I'd like to see the output of: rpm -q vlc rpm -ql vlc rpm -e -vv vlc rpm -q vlc And then you can run queries for any files found on the filesystem, such as rpm -qf /usr/lib/vlc/plugins/visualization/libprojectm_plugin.so -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
