Question

PROBLEM:

I'm trying to get this program running, I want to make a topological map/graph of the dependencies and packages on a rpm system:

rpm-devel-4.14.2-1.fc29.x86_64.rpm Fedora 29 Download gives amongst other things:

/usr/bin/rpmgraph. /usr/include/rpm/argv.h. /usr/include/rpm/header.h. /usr/include/rpm/rpmarchive.h. /usr/include/rpm/rpmbase64.h. /usr/include/rpm/rpmbuild.h.

https://linux.die.net/man/8/rpmgraph

rpmgraph PACKAGE_FILE

I've tried this:

rpm -qa > INSTALLED_PACKAGES
rpmgraph INSTALLED_PACKAGES

And this for populating PACKAGE_FILE:

rpm -qa | sort | sed -e 's/\([^.]*\).*/\1/' -e 's/\(.*\)-.*/\1/' > PACKAGE_FILE

this one is for only filename without all the version and architecture numbers.

With only filename I get these errors:

error: open of xfce4-screenshooter failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce4-screenshooter-plugin failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce4-session failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce4-session-engines failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce4-settings failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce4-taskmanager failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce4-terminal failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfce-polkit failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfconf failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfdesktop failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfsprogs failed: No such file or directory
error: open of xfwm4 failed: No such file or directory

and with the former I get this error:

# rpmgraph INSTALLED_PACKAGES 
(null): read manifest failed:

---

So I was assuming I need the list with the package + the .rpm extension like most rpm tools use for working with the package, but it didn't work.

QUESTION:

Does anybody know if it's possible to make a map/graph like this of all installed packages with this program(rpmgraph) and if it is how?

Also if there was another way, please provide an answer?

I'm testing on a Fedora 30.

EDIT:

I've tried this from the answer:

rpmgraph | rpm --queryformat "%{name}-%{version}-%{release}.%{arch}.rpm\n" -qa > rpmgraph.dot

and then:

dot -Tps rpmgraph.dot -o rpmgraph.ps

But it gives these errors:

Warning: syntax ambiguity - badly delimited number '-20.f' in line 1794 of rpmgraph.dot splits into two tokens
Warning: syntax ambiguity - badly delimited number '-9.11.' in line 1795 of rpmgraph.dot splits into two tokens

And:

# dotty rpmgraph.dot 
graph parser: syntax error near line 1

dotty.lefty: cannot load graph

Answer 1

To generate graph you can try dot utility.

$ rpmgraph *.rpm > rpmgraph.dot
$ dot -Tps rpmgraph.dot -o rpmgraph.ps
