Is there a better way to achieve the results with less

What I do for this is run podman containers.  I create local images of
centos+epel, then use a helper script to run them with a podman volume
mounted at/var/cache/{yum,dnf}.  With my script I can run repoquery
commands prefixed by a distro identifier.

c7 repoquery --whatprovides webserver

This also has the benefit of being able to start a container
interactively, install packages, and then throw it away when you're
done, with zero risk of installing packages on the host.  If this
approach is interesting to you I can put my scripts in a public repo
somewhere.

This is certainly interesting when you actually want to install packages, but for repoqueries, I find it a bit overkill.
