Hi Ross,
Using rpm, I was able to trace back recipe files for all the files except for
files in a folder called as media. When I try to trace for any file inside
media, it does not show me
any package name. Could anyone please tell me what is this media folder??
/media is where alternative devices, e.g. a USB stick, are mounted.
The contents of /media are not part of the main root file system, thus
you won't find them in any package manager database.

Hi Ross,
Thank you for the response.
rpm -qf <filename> would give us the package name.
Thanks,
Bharath

If you actually need to know what recipe produced a binary without
instrumenting the binaries, then use the package manager: they all
have a command to tell you what binary package installed a file, and
from the binary package you can determine the source package, and
that's got the same name as the recipe.
