rpm -qa

rpm -qa doesn't show the architecture of the package (e.g. i386 / x86_64)

Where else can this information be found?

You could try and install it and see if it moans, if not you know it's the architecture of the machine your on...

If you're doing rpm -qa then the package must already be installed, in which case I assume you want to verify it wasn't forced in with a --noarch or something?

Anyway the info should be displayed with the following command:

rpm -q --qf '%ARCH\n' <packageName>

rpm -q --qf '%ARCH\n' <packageName>

rpm -q --qf '%{ARCH}\n' mypackage
