To identify the libraries, you might try searching by installation
time. The libraries were installed right after ekiga. If you still
have ekiga, that will tell you when to look.
rpm -q -a --last | grep ekiga
That will give you something like:
ekiga-1.0.9-9.1 Sat 22 Oct 2005 11:43:55 AM EDT
Now look for the rpms installed slightly thereafter:
rpm -q -a --last | grep "22 Oct 2005 11"
If you already removed ekiga, you might try to remember at least the
day of installation as a start.
It might be prudent to run "rpm -q --whatrequires <library-name>"
before removing the package. If nothing but ekiga uses it, it can be
safely deleted (I think).
