Given a long list of RPM's (like on the RedHat CD), is it possible to do
some sort of package query that will tell me which package provides some
particular file? The closest I have gotten so far is
$ rpm -qpl * |grep [some_file]
. . . which will tell me if it finds the file I want, but not which
package it came from.
I could |less and search, and that's what I'm going to do for now, but
it seems like there should be a better way.
