Slightly OT for your specific question and Frank's already provided a
solution but I keep a shell alias around in .bashrc to look up which
package owns a particular command. It just glues together rpm -qf and which:

qwhich () { if [ "$1" == "" ]; then echo "usage: qwhich <cmd>" ; fi ;
rpm -qf `which $1` ;}

$ qwhich sol

It's pronounced like "quiche" should not be.

The repoquery command from yum-utils can answer similar questions for
packages in remote repositories but it's much faster to just ask RPM for
things installed locally.
