I'd like to buy a vowel.
Can someone tell me what package xxd is in?
Here's the progression:
1) yum install xxd
2) yum whatprovides xxd
3) yum whatprovides od (worth a shot?)
4) google: yum install xxd
5) google: yum xxd
6) google: fedora xxd
7) search gmail fedora list archives: xxd

How about these options:

Yum is not a package manager.

I use this:
qwhich () { if [ "$1" == "" ]; then echo "usage: qwhich " ; fi ;
rpm -qf `which $1` ;}
$ qwhich xxd

It wasn't clear from the phrasing in your original question why you needed
to find what package it was in.
yum whatprovides '/*

One thing to note with this: if you have a file that matches */xxd (for
