This raises an question. When you get a failed dependency like this, how
do you find out which package or source provides the required files?
I had this problem with libpng failed dependencies with an xemacs rpm
file. I never could figure out which libpng.so number went with with
which libpng rpm package. Is there a searchable database somewhere that
will let you input say "libgd.so.1" and which will return a package name
or a source name?
