Hi,
here with RPM version 4.4.2.3 i get:

-i                           Install
Query options with -q
-p                          query/verify a package file
-l                           list files in package
-d                          list all documentation files
-c                          list all configuration files
--dump                  dump basic file information

so no -q -i 

Ciao,
TIto
