rpm query give '(contains no files)'

[mghe]

Hi,

I have got a server preinstalled by hosting provider with CentOS 7.2 -> update to 7.4

When I tried run query rpm I have got answer '(contains no files)'

Any ideas?

What command did you run?

It sounds like you queried a metapackage - one that just has dependencies to pull in a bunch of stuff at the same time but doesn't own any files. Using rpm -q --requires $package might show you.

You had right TrevorH.
