Perhaps something like:
% rpm -q --filesbypkg -p /usr/RPMS/*.rpm | grep /sbin/iptunnel
net-tools /sbin/iptunnel
Of course this requires all the rpm's being available (e.g. local
disk, CD-ROM, or ftp:// URL), and so I can't imagine *any*
packaging system that couldn't provide this info. E.g. with the
help of a little for-loop and grep. Remember folks, this *is* Unix. ;-)
