Re: How do I get a list of installed patches?

[Jerry Uanino]

rpm -qa

That will show you all the packages and versions.  RedHat Linux (and
most Linux distributions) do not have a concept of "patches".  If you
come from the Solaris, AIX or HP-UX world this seems wierd.  In Linux,
an updated package replaces the existing ones, there is no concept of
a partial package replacement like in Solaris with patchadd.

Hope this helps.  I think you can also issue rpm -q packagename --changelog
