Clever! It even works. In fact, could the script below be modified so that
all continues to work if latex is found but is also found to not be a part
of an rpm?
#! /bin/sh
package=""
exe=""
for latex in "latex" "latex2e" "pplatex"
do
search=`which $latex 2>/dev/null` || continue
pkg=`rpm -q -f $search` || continue
package=$pkg
exe=$search
break
done
test "$package" == "" && {
echo "Unable to find package providing a latex executable" >&2
exit 1
}
echo "package '$package' contains '$exe'"
