Something in the lines of
rpm -qf /usr/lib64/*/* |awk \
'/nevlastní žádný balíček/ {print $2}'\
|xargs repoquery -qf|sort -u|xargs yum install -y
run on different directories (various lib* and *bin directories).
('nevlastní žádný balíček' is 'not owned by any package' in
Czech).
Which I think means something totally unpredictable, I guess.
But if a pkg requires mta and has nothing else to show us then sure,
shortest name will win.
Would you rather it be unpredictable?
No, I would prefer FESCO (or whomever) approved policy stating
that e.g. /usr/sbin/sendmail or mta-daemon means (in this or any
other order):
1) sendmail
2) postfix
3) exim
4) huge group of pidgeons,
5) small group of pidgeons,
6) a pidgeon
7) bottle in the sea
8) Lotus Notes
9) M$ Exchange
10) qmail
or something of that sort.
as I said on irc right before you dropped off:
Problems:
1. you need to determine that order and get everyone to stop arguing over
it enough to ratify it
2. you need special info in the repodata to make that happen
3. you need to deal with conflicts in the repodata between repos
