Color me confused here
Isn't "whatprovides" for asking about what provides a "capability," not
about particular files?
I thought so from the man page but as you note below it will give
results sometimes anyway which confused me
There goes my inexperience showing again.... : )
e.g. rpm -q --whatprovides webserver
httpd-2.0.40-8
See: <http://docs.fedoraproject.org/drafts/rpm-guide-en/ch05s02.html#id2953745>
Although that reference also suggests that you can query individual
files, I find that it only gives an answer some of the time. e.g. The
grub.conf (menu.1st) file doesn't appear to belong to anything. I
haven't worked that whys and wherefores, but perhaps files generated by
installing a RPM, rather than extracted from a RPM, don't count?
To find what package provided a particular file, there's "rpm -qf".
e.g. rpm -qf /full/path/to/the/file/you/want/to/know/about
Does that query format give you an answer?
Yes thank you! I knew it had to be something simple and of course it is!!
[x33@localhost ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libnepomuk.so.4
kdelibs-4.0.4-4.fc9.x86_64
[x33@localhost ~]$ rpm -qf /usr/lib64/libnepomuk.so.4.0.4
kdelibs-4.0.4-4.fc9.x86_64
64 bit version of kdelibs , i assumed it would have listed these earlier
because it listed the 386 version as providing these and it should have
listed the 64 bit version too, at least by my reckoning at the time,
ass u me
I knew i was going to learn something today, turns out it was more than
one thing, bonus!!
thanks again!
