How can I tell the version of a package after doing a yum search?
e.g.
yum search rabbitmq
returns
rabbitmq-server.noarch : The RabbitMQ server
I need to know the version of this server.
You can find the version number of a package in your repositories with the yum info command.
# yum info rabbitmq-server

I ran this command on my Fedora 16 laptop, but the command applies to any system with yum and rpm, such as RHEL or CentOS. May 2 '12 at 17:18

The EPEL repositories (fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL) also offer RabbitMQ-server 2.6.1 in their repository for CentOS/RHEL 6. Here's a guide to get you going: johnpoelstra.com/2010/12/23/rhel-6-epel May 3 '12 at 10:51
AFAIK, yum info only shows information for one specific "instance" of a package. I wanted to know not what version I had installed but which were available on the repos. So this did it for me:
yum -v list package_name --show-duplicates

yum infoshows all packages, installed and available in enabled repos, by the name specified. Or if you run it without a package name it'll just show you all the info that it has. May 11 '17 at 15:35 -

@Xalorous What version? I only get the current package with
yum info(on a system apparently old enough that--show-duplicatesisn't an option toyum list)– IzkataJul 16 '18 at 14:48 -
RHEL 6.9, yum 3.2.29. And I'm seeing the same behavior you are. It only lists the installed versions. Possibly latest version if it is newer than installed. E.g. I see 3 kernels, 2.6.32, all installed. But I know our (custom) repo has a bunch more. Jul 16 '18 at 18:50

You can get more info with the following command:
yum info rabbitmq

OR
yum list rabbitmq
if you prefer condensed output.
