In install mode, it searches files in packages that you can install, thus of course this won't find the owner of installed file /usr/bin/update-menus. In remove mode, it would work if menu was allowed to be removed, but it's not the case (we don't want you break your system). Anyway, rpm -qf is the easiest way for such a question, as others answered. -- Guillaume Cottenceau - http://people.mandrakesoft.com/~gc/
