The standard confusing part is if you are used to seeing a . only in the
version or release parts.. you scan down and see
dotnet3.1-3.1.2-40
my usual mistake is where I do a stupid programming and do something like
ls -1 | awk '{split($0,a,"."); print a[1]}' | whatever I needed for just
the names of rpms
which for most packages will give me the Name-Ver[.sion removed]. it is
lazy script programming but it works often enough that my brain wants it to
work all the time than doing something like
ls -1 *rpm | xargs rpm --qf='%{NAME}\n' -qp | whatever i needed for just
the names of the rpms.
