I think yum does go through contents of packages. Try
yum provides \*xrdb\*

Hi *,
I'm using SL(C) for a while. Since then I fight with following problem.
Is there any normal human way how to find package from repository which contains
specific file ? (For example, I'm looking for RPM which has xrdb inside)
YUM is not good enough for this - it does not go through content of packages
nor has this information stored in any database (afaik).
Is there any page similar in functionality to packages.debian.org, where
I could write the name of the file and page returns list of packages that
contains this file ? Thanks!

P.S. I used to search in google, but It always finds "xy" packages for many
distributions and I'm not sure whether I can mix packages from distributions
no matter whether they are based on same distro or not. Not mentioning the
fact that dependency tree may lead to core packages so I could realy harm
the integrity of my system this way.
