I just had an odd experience trying to use 'yum provides' to find the

Google a bit and find out it may be in the acpica-tools package:
[pilcher@ian ~]$ sudo yum install acpica-tools

[pilcher@ian ~]$ which acpidump
/usr/bin/acpidump
Shouldn't "yum provides '*/acpidump'" have turned up acpica-tools?
No, because /usr/bin/acpidump is not a file in the rpm:
$ repoquery --list acpica-tools
/usr/bin/acpibin
/usr/bin/acpidump-acpica
/usr/bin/acpiexamples
/usr/bin/acpiexec
/usr/bin/acpihelp

/usr/share/man/man1/acpixtract-acpica.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man1/iasl.1.gz
it's actually a symlink installed by the alternatives system:
$rpm -qp --scripts acpica-tools-20140424-3.fc20.x86_64.rpm
[...]
alternatives --install /usr/bin/acpidump acpidump \
/usr/bin/acpidump-acpica 120 \
--slave /usr/share/man/man1/acpidump.1.gz acpidump.1.gz \
/usr/share/man/man1/acpidump-acpica.1.gz
[...]
note that acpica-tools has an virtual provides acpidump, so just 'yum
provides acipdump' should work. Admittedly this is a corner case.
