I'd suggest repoquery or "yum whatprovides" e.g.: $ repoquery --whatprovides '*/fsck.xfs' xfsprogs-0:2.9.7-1.fc9.i386 or $ yum whatprovides '*/fsck.xfs' ... xfsprogs-2.9.7-1.fc9.i386 : Utilities for managing the XFS filesystem Matched from: Filename : /sbin/fsck.xfs The presence of the '/' in the query string lets yum and repoquery know to look in file lists for packages that provide a match. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ There is no end to the laws, and no beginning to the execution of them. -- Mark Twain
