Extract A File From RPM
RPM is a powerful Package Manager, which can be used to build, install, query, verify, update, and erase individual software packages. A package consists of an archive of files and meta-data used to install and erase the archive files. The meta-data includes helper scripts, file attributes, and descriptive information about the package. Packages come in two varieties: binary packages, used to encapsulate software to be installed, and source packages, containing the source code and recipe necessary to produce binary packages.
Sometimes we need a particular file from rpm. To get it, we have to install that rpm. But using this Article, you might not install rpm to get particular file.
By mistake I have deleted /sbin/poweroff file from system. Now we need to find out which rpm contains /sbin/poweroff
# yum whatprovides /sbin/poweroff
systemd-sysvinit-10-2.fc14.1.i686 contains /sbin/poweroff in Fedora 14.
Now, if you try to install that package using yum, we will get “Package systemd-sysvinit-10-2.fc14.1.i686 already installed and latest version”.
To restore /sbin/poweroff, all we need is systemd-sysvinit-10-2.fc14.1.i686.rpm and rpm2cpio, this is bundled with rpm-x.x.x…i386.rpm.
# rpm -ql rpm | grep rpm2cpio
/usr/bin/rpm2cpio
/usr/lib/rpm/rpm2cpio.sh
/usr/share/man/ja/man8/rpm2cpio.8.gz
/usr/share/man/ko/man8/rpm2cpio.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/rpm2cpio.8.gz
/usr/share/man/pl/man8/rpm2cpio.8.gz
/usr/share/man/ru/man8/rpm2cpio.8.gz
# rpm2cpio systemd-sysvinit-10-2.fc14.1.i686.rpm | cpio -idmv
# cp sbin/poweroff /sbin/
Note: There is another way to install systemd-sysvinit-10-2.fc14.1.i686.rpm by forcefully installing it.
# rpm -ivh systemd-sysvinit-10-2.fc14.1.i686.rpm –force
