Generally, you would report bugs at: http://bugzilla.redhat.com
Component *would* be "gnome-media".

  $ rpm --redhatprovides /usr/bin/gtcd
  gnome-media-1.2.3-4

*However*, I don't see how you could erase the db1 package without
ignoring the _existing_ dependency of the gnome-media package
against libdb.so.2:

  $ rpm --query gnome-media --requires | grep db
  libdb.so.2 

Red Carpet should not have let you remove the db1 package and
compat-glibc without ignoring dependencies. Two packages that
provide a libdb.so.2. You can remove one, but not both.

  $ rpm --redhatprovides libdb.so.2
  compat-glibc-6.2-2.1.3.2
  db1-1.85-8

So, it looks like either it's a user mistake or bug in Red Carpet.
