Shell Script - Compare packages. rpm

[Tiago Dias]

Hi,

         I need a script which makes the package compação rpm's through two
text files ...

         Since a file is the output of the command *rpm-qa > pkg.out *

         And the second file is a list of several packages rpm's, multiple
versions and architectures.

         My idea is to compare a package *x* file pkg.out with several
packages *y* of the file update.out and know whether a package and has a
larger version of the package *x* installed and with that I return I have a
package to be updated.

        Does anyone can help me do this comparison?

        OBS.: The servers do not have access to internet.

        Here's an example of the packages described in the files:
