first you find out which rpm uname comes from: [stuart@behemoth ~]$ which uname /bin/uname [stuart@behemoth ~]$ rpm -qf /bin/uname coreutils-5.2.1-31 the same approach applies to xscreensaver.
you then find the .src.rpm on one of the discs (dunno which one)
Thanks... I knew it had to be simple.... :-)
I used rpm -q xscreensaver --whatprovides
and that worked great.... but the real trick was using "which" and the whole result from that command...
That is, rpm -q uname --whatprovides doesn't work, but rpm -q /bin/uname --whatprovides does work
