Title pretty much sums it up, but I'm looking for an rpm or yum command to see if an installed package was installed from the repos (if repo, which repo?), or manually.

    See: [this question](http://serverfault.com/questions/62026/how-to-know-from-which-yum-repository-a-package-has-been-installed) and [this question](http://serverfault.com/questions/355836/how-can-i-tell-what-rpms-are-managed-outside-of-yum) for a starting point – cyberx86 Feb 15 '12 at 01:26
  • Totally misread the question, doh. Deleting my answer. Seems like Janne Pikkarainen's answer in @cyberx86 first suggestion would work for you. – Belmin Fernandez Feb 15 '12 at 14:08
  • [Janne Pikkarainen](http://serverfault.com/users/49773/janne-pikkarainen)'s [answer](http://serverfault.com/a/356162/8263) is in the second question. – Mei Feb 15 '12 at 23:38
  • What version of RPM and YUM are you using? Running YUM 3.2.22-37 and RPM 4.4.2.3-22 (RHEL 5) doesn't show the `From Repo` line mentioned by Janne. You could try checking `/var/log/yum.log*` files for an RPM; if it's not there it was not installed by YUM. Watch out for initial installs, though: things installed from CDROM won't be in the YUM logs I don't think. – Mei Feb 15 '12 at 23:44

rpm -qai |grep

example:

rpm -qai |grep -9 wget
restore individual files (or all of the files) from that archive. Tar
can also be used to add supplemental files to an archive and to update
or list files in the archive. Tar includes multivolume support,
automatic archive compression/decompression, the ability to perform
remote archives, and the ability to perform incremental and full
backups.

If you want to use tar for remote backups, you also need to install
the rmt package.

  • that's a dirty grep but i added the -9 so you could see the entire wget entry, there is probably another flag to just show for one package – jemmille Mar 15 '12 at 01:20
  • Use the package name (`rpm -qa` for a list) instead of grep: `rpm -qi wget` – basic6 Aug 02 '16 at 12:54
