rpm -Va returns unknown attribute
rpm -Va returns unknown attribute
Running rpm -Va on my machine returns precisely one file with the attribute "n". man rpm doesn't list what "n" means, does anyone here know?

Re: rpm -Va returns unknown attribute
Does it actually appear on a separate line like that?
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

Re: rpm -Va returns unknown attribute
Sorry, I cut that from a report. The actual line is:
There are 28 "missing" lines in total, all the others have either no attribute or else one that is documented:for example. If it helps, label-templates is a directory, but then so is /etc/amanda/DailySet1 which has no attribute.

Re: rpm -Va returns unknown attribute
Ah, so 'n' is a type of file not an attribute. If it was 'c' then it would be a config file, 'd' for doc, 'n' for...
And, no, don't know either.

Re: rpm -Va returns unknown attribute
Err, the man page says:which is why I called it an attribute. Mind, in order to confuse poor users the man page then refers to the tests comparing attributes, so all is as clear as mud!
Code: Select all
The format of the output is a string of 9 characters, a possible attribute marker:
c %config configuration file.
d %doc documentation file.
g %ghost file (i.e. the file contents are not included in the package payload).
l %license license file.
r %readme readme file.
from the package header, followed by the file name.
