[NTLUG:Discuss] comparing lists

[Kyle_Davenport@compusa.com]

Sorry, I'm forced to use Lotus Notes at work and it's hard reading the
punctuation.

apparentlythe single quote I wanted got stuck in "rpms2update" and I wanted it
after the // :

for i in `rpm -qa|sed 's/-[0-9].*//'`;do grep $i update.list ; done >
rpms2update.list

then you can go:
for i in `cat rpm2update.list`;do rpm -Uvh $i ;done

which will fail for many rpm's because of dependencies the first time thru.  I
run it several times, then for the failures remaining, I make sure I do in fact
have all the dependencies (requisite packages), then I add "--nodeps" to the rpm
commandline and run it one last time.

there are several packages which will do this automatically for you.

The command returns the following:

bash: command substitution: line 2: syntax error

I did enter it as one line.
