Well, yes. If you happen to be looking for
I usually login to http://rpmfind.net and search for the binary filename
there. It will show you all packages that contain the file.

Hi,
It used to be (in 7.2) that you could search for a file and it would tell
you what package to find it in. That functionality seems to have disappeared
form the Software Manager. Is that a fact or am I not doing things properly?
Specifically, I'm looking for the package which has nslookup in

Laurent,
I've never used that tool, but you could get it from doing something like
locate nslookup |xargs rpm -qf or the longhanded version:
locate nslookup to find the file, then rpm -qf filename to find the owner
package. If locate gives you too many files then try find / -name nslookup
Hi again,
Just thought i'd mention that i don't have access to linux from where i am, but
i'm sure there are some more efficient ways of doing that. Can you make locate
only locate executables, or locate exact-matching filenames? I don't know, but
if you can then you don't have to worry about
