Here's a small script I wrote for that fishing purpose.
Please note you're first supposed to copy all the RPMs into somewhere
#!/bin/bash -e
RPMDIR=/someplace/RedHat/RPMS
echo searching RedHat RPMS pool
for i in ${RPMDIR}/*.rpm
do
if $(rpm -qlp $i | grep -s "$1" >/tmp/rpmsearch.$$)
then
echo $i
echo =========
cat /tmp/rpmsearch.$$
rm /tmp/rpmsearch.$$
echo
fi;
done

Subject: Missing libraries and a RPM "Teach a man to fish" question.
Hello List,
First the question.
What packages are the following libraries in?
libgconf-1.so.1, libgconf-gtk-1.so.1, libgnomevfs.so.0 and liboaf.so.0
------------------------------------
Now teach me to fish.
I am trying to back install some packages that I missed during a recent
Red Hat
7.3 installation. When I get failed dependencies they are either the
name of
another missing package or the name of a missing library.
Finding the missing package is easy, I just look for it on the
installation
disks and install it.
My strategy for finding missing libraries is to look on a different Red
Hat 7.1
installation running on my network using the commands
bin-sh# locate libfindme.s.0.0
/bin/lib/libfindme.s.0.0
bin-sh# rpm -qf /bin/lib/libfindme.s.0.0
this-package-need-installed.1.9-22.i386.rpm
and then finding that current package on the installation disks. This
failed
with the above four libs because they were not on the 7.1 system.
Is there a list of what libraries are installed by which .rpm packages??
Is there some cute rpm command option that will reveal this, i.e. the
package a
missing lib is in?
Thanks. All comments welcome.
