in some python script we can see the import of some python modules as
import yum
import rpm
.
.
.
can we find exactly the rpm or wheel that actually installed the yum or the rpm ?
for example by pip list | grep yum
I not sure that I get the wheel that represent the "yum import
"
and from rpm -qa | grep yum
I get long list
so how to know the specific package that installed ? that related to import yum
?
$ strace python3 -c 'import rpm' 2>&1 |grep open
....
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/rpm/__pycache__/transaction.cpython-311.pyc", O_RDONLY|O_CLOEXEC) = 3
openat(AT_FDCWD, "/proc/sys/crypto/fips_enabled", O_RDONLY) = 3
$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/python3.11/site-packages/rpm/__pycache__/transaction.cpython-311.pyc
python3-rpm-4.18.1-3.fc38.x86_64
If the rpm tells you
file XXXX is not owned by any package
then the file was not installed from rpm. So it likely comes from pip install
.
