Re: Files not belonging to an rpm

Hi there,

rpm -qal | sort > rpm-list
find / | sort > file-list 
comm -23 file-list rpm-list | less

Similarly, you can do this to get a list of all files that belong to
an rpm, but don't exist:

comm -13 file-list rpm-list | less

Or a list of all files that belong to an rpm and do exist:

comm -12 file-list rpm-list | less
