RPM on a Multiarch System
Another command of the day, this time related to the RPM package manager on a multi-architecture system (the one which contains libraries for multiple architectures; typicaly an AMD64 system allows to run both i386 and x86_64 binaries):
$ echo '%_query_all_fmt ' \
'%%{name}-%%{version}-%%{release}.%%{arch}' \
>> ~/.rpmmacros
This way the rpm -qa command displays also the architecture
of the packages in its output.
