If you have the rpmdb-redhat package installed, you can use rpm, like so: rpm -q --redhatprovides [file] Some files aren't included in the rpm spec as a provide, so you may need the full path. The pine package is a good example. The pine rpm doesn't list pico as a specific capability of the package. $ rpm -q pine package pine is not installed $ rpm -q --redhatprovides pico no package provides pico However: $ rpm -q --redhatprovides /usr/bin/pico pine-4.44-13 Hope that helps, - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3} in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE9rfbLn/07WoAb/SsRAr6AAKCwH5dA+FU2ML97OQTGb0U0ClzVDwCeLoRV fdCDExBiMU1yoLgC07yCoBs= =eQBt -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
