We have long ago used a tool called "urpmi" (note there is no "drake" in
the name.....) to perform easy install/requests/remove on the rpm's of a
system. It's a little bit sad that Red Hat didn't see that it was useful
for users and integrate in the distro (that happened with `rpmlint',
another MandrakeSoft software).

For example there is "urpmf" for "whatprovides" uninstalled packages
queries, which works with regexp :

[gc@bi ~] urpmf bin/startkde
kdebase:/usr/bin/startkde
[gc@bi ~] urpmf libpng.so$
libpng3-devel:/usr/lib/libpng.so
[gc@bi ~]

We use it since mid-1999, and it's really handy. To my knowledge, there is
nothing specific to Mandrake, so it can be installed and used on a Red Hat
system without any problem.
