There are several ostree and rpm-ostree commands that list file or package data based on either the Commit ID, or Refspec. If Refspec is passed as a parameter, it’s the same as passing the most recent commit ID (head) for that branch.
Commit history
For a host that is freshly installed, there is only one commit in the history for the only branch.

commit 820b584a6f90bf6b9b8cb6aad8c093064b88d0ab686be8130baa03d68917ad88
ContentChecksum: c7956cedc5c1b8c07a06e10789c17364a5b7a4b970daab64f3398b7c42bd97d9

Version: 4.0_minimal
(no subject)
This commit has no parent; if there was an older commit, it would have been listed too. We can get the same listing (either nicely formatted or raw variant data) by passing the Commit ID. Just the first several hex digits will suffice to identify the commit ID. We can either request to be displayed in a pretty format, or raw - the actual C struct.

By default, only the top folders are listed, but -R will list recursively. Instead of listing over 10,000 files, let’s filter to just all files that contain ‘rpm-ostree’, ‘rpmostree’ or ‘RpmOstree’, that must belong to rpm-ostree package itself.

atomic is really an alias for rpm-ostree command. The last file treefile.json is not installed by the rpm-ostree package, it is actually downloaded from the server, as we will see in the next chapter. For now, let us notice “osname” : “photon”, “ref” : “photon/1.0/x86_64/minimal”, “automatic_version_prefix” : “1.0_minimal”, that matches what we have known so far, and also the “documentation” : false setting, that explains why there are no manual files installed for rpm-ostree, and in fact for any package.

Querying for package details
We are able to use the query option of rpm to make sure any package have been installed properly. The files list should match the previous file mappings in 4.2, so let’s check package rpm-ostree. As we’ve seen, manual files listed here are actually missing, they were not installed.

Why am I unable to install, upgrade or uninstall packages?
The OSTree host installer needs the server URL or the server repository.
When you perform the installation using the repo, the install packages are located under the layer package. When you install with the URL, the packages are located under the local packages.
You can use the rpm-ostree uninstall command to uninstall only the layered and local packages but not the base packages. To modify the base packages, you can use the rpm-ostree override command.
When you run rpm-ostree upgrade, the command will only upgrade packages based on the commit available in the server.
