I want to get the original version of /etc/clamd.d/amavis.conf from the amavisd-new rpm to get the defaults to submit a bug report. I could not figure out how to do this, so I did a reinstall, but it did not replace this file (whatprovides says it comes from this rpm).
Is there a way to extract just the one file, and better yet, place it elsewhere than its regular destination?
thanks

[CentOS] How to extract one file from rpm using yum?

Hi Robert,
you can extract this file with cpio or open it with mc like a archive (zip, tar, ...)

Didn't it create it in the normal destination as amavis.conf.rpmnew?

No it did not. I am thinking I had the current file open in gedit and MAYBE that had a bearing on the reinstall?
I will attempt to download just the rpm and try to open it with archive manager.

You could also just have renamed your conf file temporarily, reinstalled, moved the default conf file and renamed back your conf file...

OK. I am set for what I needed. I went to the repo via http and downloaded the rpm. I then used archive manager via nautilus to get to the file(s) I needed. Now to write up the bug report. Minor item, but it bugs me.... ;)

The command line way of getting 1 file out of a rpm is to rpm2cpio.
rpm2cpio <rpmfilename> > <filename.cpio>
Now you have a cpio archive which you can use to get files out of.

Or:
rpm2cpio <rpmfilename> | cpio -idv
That will extract all the files to the current directory (create a temporarily directory and cd into it before you start).

thanks eveyone for all these tips. I REALLY need to put together a couple of remember how to do it notes.

And one more:
To extract a single file from a package
rpm2cpio gnupg-1.2.6-6.src.rpm | cpio -ivd gnupg.spec

I know it's petty, but every time I realize I need to use cpio to do this, it really annoys me. This is the only present day use of cpio I'm aware of.
