Interesting. This must be a configuration option then as most of the Debian systems I have helped maintain had to have a 'apt-get update' run before I could get useful information. I wasn't the primary admin so this could have been something the other admins did for some obscure reason.

What he meant was that what rpm does is LIKE apt doing an 'apt-get update' first every time you used apt. It does of course no this, as it is, well, annoying :)

But thanks for the tip anyway.

The first thing about yum that I learned was the '-C' (or is it -c?) option which runs it using cached information so it doesn't pull down new headers each time.RPM -- plans, goals, etc.
Neat, I did not know about that little trick, which probably comes from the fact that I have spent way too little time administrating a Fedora/Red Hat system :)RPM -- plans, goals, etc.
