I seem to remember there was a magic trick to find the RPM that provides a specific file -- specifically, one that *isn't* on your system. A lot of times it is confusing what to install. For instance, I was attempting to compile something recently that needed /usr/bin/gtk-config and couldn't track down the rpm that provides that particular file. 'urpmi gtk' isn't very helpful: it reminds me of my job trying to locate a specific John Smith :). I seem to remember 'qlf' and some other options (maybe it was -qld?) that would do it. My first approach was to run this against my current cooker mirror. Bash says argument list too long, so I then just use it against gtk and eventually find the file. But is there a better approach? Having something like a "reference" box we could ssh into might be an idea ... I'm currently stumped installing a newer kdemultimedia -- I have kdemultimedia 3.05a from 9.0 and have most everything else installed for 3.1.2, except that. I'm getting: devel(libnoatunarts) is needed by kdemultimedia-devel-3.1.2-10mdk libnoatunarts is installed - but I can't find whatever it is urpmi thinks it needs. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------ David E.
