They usually *don't* tell you the rpms but rather the libraries missing. > It is absurd to say that a certain file is needed without specifying >the exact rpm needed. Rpm can't know the name of the rpm containing a certain library unless that name has been hardcoded into the spec file which in turn is frowned upon. The right way to do it is to let rpm determine the requirements and provisions by itself (AutoReqprov). Determining the rpm(s) needed to resolve dependencis is a job for tools like YaST, smart or apt.
