think 'yum list' may be what you are looking for.  (I don't have Fedora or
CentOS on this laptop so I can't check.)

No CentOS or Fedora ... is there any other OS out there besides these two??? I have heard rumors of others, but I don't believe it :D

Or

yum provides <package name or string>

One new behavior is important ... if you are looking for a file name that is part of a string, you have to use wildcards:

yum provides libkholidays.so

(this give NOTHING)


yum provides \*libkholidays.so

or

yum provides '*libkholidays.so'

those will return the answer of: "kdepim.i386 : PIM (Personal Information Manager) for KDE"

=============================================
Please remember, we DO NOT WRITE this stuff, we just build it to work the same as upstream :D
