rpmdb2solv [OPTIONS] [REFFILE​.solv]

The rpmdb2solv tool reads rpm’s installed packages database and writes it in solv file format to standard output​. You can make use of an old version of the database by specifying a REFFILE​.solv file​.

-o OUTFILE

Write the generated solv to OUTFILE instead of standard output​.

-P

Print percentages as packages are being read in​. The output format is like rpm’s --percent option​.

-r ROOTDIR

Use ROOTDIR as root directory​.

-D DBPATH

Use the database in the DBPATH directory​.

-k

Read pubkeys from the rpm database instead of installed packages​. Note that many distributions stopped storing pubkeys in the database but use a directory like /var/lib/rpm/pubkeys instead​.

-A

Also scan the /usr/share/appdata for installed appdata files and create pseudo packages for each file​.

-p PRODDIR

Also read SUSE product files from directory PRODDIR​. The standard directory is /etc/products​.d​.

-n

Do not read any packages from the rpm database​. This is useful together with -p to only convert SUSE products​.

-C

Include the package changelog in the generated solv file​.

-X

Autoexpand SUSE pattern and product provides into packages​.
