How to list the contents of a package using YUM?

rpm -ql [packageName]

Example

# rpm -ql php-fpm

/etc/php-fpm.conf
/etc/php-fpm.d
/etc/php-fpm.d/www.conf
/etc/sysconfig/php-fpm
...
/run/php-fpm
/usr/lib/systemd/system/php-fpm.service
/usr/sbin/php-fpm
/usr/share/doc/php-fpm-5.6.0
/usr/share/man/man8/php-fpm.8.gz
...
/var/lib/php/sessions
/var/log/php-fpm

No need to install yum-utils, or to know the location of the rpm file.

There is a package called yum-utils that builds on YUM and contains a tool called repoquery that can do this.

$ repoquery --help | grep -E "list\ files" 
  -l, --list            list files in this package/group

Combined into one example:

$ repoquery -l time
/usr/bin/time
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7/README
/usr/share/info/time.info.gz

On at least one RH system, with rpm v4.8.0, yum v3.2.29, and repoquery v0.0.11, repoquery -l rpm prints nothing.

If you are having this issue, try adding the --installed flag: repoquery --installed -l rpm.

DNF Update:

To use dnf instead of yum-utils, use the following command:

$ dnf repoquery -l time
/usr/bin/time
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7/COPYING
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7/NEWS
/usr/share/doc/time-1.7/README
/usr/share/info/time.info.gz
