CompTIA XK0-005 Exam - Topic 3 Question 60 Discussion

Actual exam question for CompTIA's XK0-005 exam

Question #: 60
Topic #: 3

A developer reported an incident involving the application configuration file /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf that is missing from the server. Which of the following identifies the RPM package that installed the configuration file?

Arpm -qf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Brpm -ql /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Crpm ---query /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Drpm -q /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: A

The rpm -qf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command will identify the RPM package that installed the configuration file. This command will query the database of installed packages and display the name of the package that owns the specified file. The rpm -ql /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command is invalid, as -ql is not a valid option for rpm. The rpm --query /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command is incorrect, as --query requires a package name, not a file name. The rpm -q /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf command is incorrect, as -q requires a package name, not a file name.:CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-005) Certification Study Guide, Chapter 19: Managing Packages and Software, page 560.

Hmm, I wonder if the missing file was due to a typo in the configuration. Maybe the developer needs to check their keyboard for crumbs.

A is the way to go. It's the only one that actually identifies the package. The others are just a waste of time.

C is not even a valid rpm command. Whoever came up with that one must have been napping during class.

B is the way to find out what files a package installed, not the package that installed a specific file.

D is the way to go. It's the simplest and most straightforward command.

A is the correct answer. It will show the package that installed the file.

I’m pretty sure "rpm -qf" is the correct answer, but I can't recall what the "f" stands for exactly.

I feel like "rpm -q" is too vague for this question. It doesn't specify what it's querying about the file.

I'm not entirely sure about this one. I'll need to think it through carefully and maybe reference some RPM documentation to make sure I select the right approach.
