What package provides a given file? $ whichcd -f libpopt.so.0 popt-1.7-1.06 provides libpopt.so.0 CD-1:popt-1.7-1.06.i386.rpm Or: $ whichcd -f /usr/bin/pico pine-4.44-13 provides /usr/bin/pico CD-3:pine-4.44-13.i386.rpm SOURCE-CD-1:pine-4.44-13.src.rpm Or even: $ whichcd -f free procps-2.0.7-25 provides /usr/bin/free CD-1:procps-2.0.7-25.i386.rpm SOURCE-CD-1:procps-2.0.7-25.src.rpm Case insensitive search for a string? $ whichcd xfree CD-1:XFree86-100dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72.i386.rpm CD-1:XFree86-75dpi-fonts-4.2.0-72.i386.rpm CD-1:XFree86-Mesa-libGL-4.2.0-72.i386.rpm [snip] What version of a given package is included with another release? $ whichcd -v FC1 freetype Searching in the FC1 database. Searching for freetype...

I just don't believe that it's the same thing as 'whichcd' - -- - -Michael pgp key: http://www.tuxfan.homeip.net:8080/gpgkey.txt Red Hat Linux 7.{2,3}|8.0|9 in 8M of RAM: http://www.rule-project.org/en/ - -- -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.0.7 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/shmln/07WoAb/SsRAlPgAJ9zrBWDO4HILlnOeoaDdJbI5IQPZACeLQ8f UN6JLGKomR1wGcoh4PLfJXk= =9ei9 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
