It would be even easier to look at the ARCHIVES.gz file that comes on each CD. It has the contents of all the files, including the files in all the RPMs).

Tom Duerbusch <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent by: Linux on 390 Port <[email protected]> 11/07/2005 11:52 AM Please respond to Linux on 390 Port To [email protected] cc Subject Finding an "not installed" file Weird question, but it may have an easy answer. 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?
