I'm not very strong with procmail matching... :-(

I receive a lot of e-mail with a subject line like:
Fedora 7 Update: xorg-x11-server-1.3.0.0-8.fc7

In the body are more details (nicely consistent)

Name        : xorg-x11-server
Product     : Fedora 7
Version     : 1.3.0.0
Release     : 8.fc7


How can I extract the "Name", "Version" and "Release" information so I
can use them within procmail?
    
      
# Check the subject so we only do the expensive body checking for  
those messages that match
# If you know the Subject is followed by a space in your email, leave  
this as a space, if it is
# a tab, change it to a tab, or use :[  ]+ (space tab)
:0
* ^Subject: Fedora 7 Update:
{
   :0
   * B ?? ^Name[ ]+: \/.*
   { PACKAGE= $MATCH }

   :0
   * B ?? ^Version[ ]+: \/.*
   { VERSION = $MATCH }

   :0
   * B ?? ^Release[ ]+: \/.*
   { RELEASE = $MATCH }
}



  
    
What I want to do is:
Check if the package is installed: rpm -q <Name>
    
      
Without knowing what rpm -q returns I can't write this part, but if  
it returns an exit code, then you can run the command from a recipe  
and proceed from there, but you would need to know more about how rpm  
works, or have it write it's out put to a file that you can then read  
with procmail to compare against the email
  
    

That you.... that really helps me out.... I already have all the 
messages going to a single folder, so I'll just add the "expensive body 
parts" inside that....

As for rpm....
It appears rpm does not set a return code.... it has text output....

i.e. (at a command line)
rpm -q goof
package goof is not installed

rpm -q yum
yum-3.2.0-1.fc7
  

Well, I stand corrected:

rpm -q goof  (a package name known not to be installed) sets an exit 
code of 1, while the exit code is 0 when the package is installed.
