[plug] rpm and dependencies

[Ari Finander]

Hello,

RedHat.com's security advisory for glibc recommends downloading:
glibc-2.2-12.i386.rpm
glibc-common-2.2-12.i386.rpm
glibc-devel-2.2-12.i386.rpm
glibc-profile-2.2-12.i386.rpm
nscd-2.2-12.i38d.rpm
and then installing them with:
rpm -Uvh glibc-[2c]*
rpm -Fvh glibc-[dp]*nscd*
Now I understand what the rpm -Uvh and Fvh do, but what's with the
package syntax and the brackets??

Second, last night I tried to install enlightenment window manager
with GnoRPM and got a few dependency errors.  So, I tried to find
where these dependency files were I typed:
rpm -q --redhatprovides qt1x-GL (syntax for the rpm command here was
recommended by my textbook).
