In the yast insall search tool you can select the Description and Provides check box and search for the files.
I have also found that rpmfind.net is useful for such searches as well, even if it gives me the wrong version(s) it can point you in the right direction for which package to query.

During a product installation, it said that I was missing "libdb.so.2" file. So I go to Yast, and do a search for it. Not there. I queried the vender and was told that I needed the "gnome-libs" rpm installed. OK, Yast found that. Sure enough, when I installed it, my immediate problem was fixed. But the question is... When you know what file is needed, but not what package it is in, is there a way for Yast (or other command) to scan for that file and say what package it is in?
