I think Brock's question is *why* are you trying to determine what packages owns a certain file.

If we knew that, there might some related RFEs there.

The only ones I can think of off-hand is when:

* I want to remove the package that owns a particular file

* update a package that owns a particular file

* determine the software version for that related file (i.e. I have /usr/bin/httpd, but is it apache 2.2 or 2.3, etc.)
