Description Jani Välimaa 2019-11-24 17:50:38 CET 
urpmq -i doesn't return Epoch whereas rpm -qi does.

$ rpm -qpi /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/lib64svrcore0-1.4.0.18-7.mga8.x86_64.rpm 
Name        : lib64svrcore0
Epoch       : 1
Version     : 1.4.0.18
Release     : 7.mga8

$ urpmq -i /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/lib64svrcore0-1.4.0.18-7.mga8.x86_64.rpm 
Name        : lib64svrcore0
Version     : 1.4.0.18
Release     : 7.mga8

Same applies to urpmq -f. It would be nice if -f would also output Epoch, if it's used.

$ urpmq -f /var/cache/urpmi/rpms/lib64svrcore0-1.4.0.18-7.mga8.x86_64.rpm 
lib64svrcore0-1.4.0.18-7.mga8.x86_64

I was unable to find any meaning for Epoch = 1; only that epoch is the Unix time (seconds since the start). Nor could I get it displayed with 'rpm -qpi' on a cached RPM. "if it's used" then.

Assigning to tv for 'urpmi'.

Ping. Dnf shows epoch also nicely.

urpmq -i is fixed in git:
http://gitweb.mageia.org/software/rpm/urpmi/commit/?id=4bc01538afa0d6399ee5c72f784ca77a62fbd68c

For -f, I'm relunctant.
Maybe adding a --nevra option…

sound like a good compromise.
