Installed packages and extra modules?

SUSE Linux Enterprise Server SLES Install-Boot
1

Is there way to determine which packages installed on a box are from which package? Getting a notification that the “Legacy Module” is now deprecated and I’m trying to figure out if we have anything installed from it or we can just ignore this.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt
Look at the options for zypper se…

zypper se --help

zypper se --provides /usr/bin/bash
i | bash | The GNU Bourne-Again Shell | package

zypper se --file-list /usr/bin/bash
i | bash | The GNU Bourne-Again Shell | package

Do you have a particular package/file in question?

I think you’re asking which packages are installed from which module? If
so, modules show up as repos so you can do “zypper lr” to list all
repos. You can then do “zypper se -ir ” (where is the
number of the repo corresponding to the Legacy Module) to list all
packages installed from that module.

HTH.

Sorry, it’s actually simpler than this if you know the name of the
module. Note there should be two repos enabled for each module, -Pool
and -Updates just as per SLES12. You can use “zypper se -ir
SLE-Module-12-Pool -r SLE-Module--Updates”.

So to find out which packages have been installed from the Legacy Module
use “zypper se -ir SLE-Module-Legacy12-Pool -r SLE-Module-Legacy12-Updates”.

Whoops that second -r should have been SLE-Module-12-Updates
so “zypper se -ir SLE-Module-12-Pool -r SLE-Module-12
-Updates”.

At least I got it right above!
