A while back I wrote a little script:
$ cat bin/whats
#!/bin/bash
# Identify what package $1 is from, if any
if [ $# -ne 1 ]; then
echo "Usage: whats arg"
exit
fi
if ! bin=$(which "$1" 2> /dev/null); then
if ! [ -e "$1" ] ; then # Maybe it's a file
echo "$1" not found
exit
fi
bin="$1"
fi
cand=$(rpm -qf "$bin" 2> /dev/null)
if echo "$cand" | grep "not owned" > /dev/null 2>&1; then
file "$bin"
# echo No idea
exit
fi
rpm -qi "$cand"
So 'whats opera' would give the package info for the command, assuming
it's installed.
