Oh, of course, you were escaping the space. But isn't this
still defective? If "not owned" is present, then grep finds
it, and the test fails, doesn't it? Don't you still need

grep -v not\ owned

?

You're welcome. It is a better solution, IMO. If the "not
owned" string gets changed by the maintainers of rpm,
then you'll have to track that. The "--quiet" is unlikely
to change, I think, and results in less coupling.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
