This sounds like a really awkward way. There are other ways: 1) If you have an rpm, like the usbutils rpm you mentioned, you can run rpm -qlp usbutils-1.0.13.i386.rpm which will list all files that will be installed by this rpm. Remember, qlp = Query List Packagefile. If the package is already installed, remove the p, getting -ql. 2) The easiest way is to use yum: yum provides lsusb which will list the packages that contain any file that has lsusb in the name. This means that the above command will give both the program file and the man page: usbutils.i386 0.70-1.1 core Matched from: /sbin/lsusb /usr/share/man/man8/lsusb.8.gz The output may differ slightly on FC5, since I ran this on FC4.
