Description of problem: /usr/bin/acpidump is not owned by the acpica-tools package, hence it's impossible to obtain the tool with "dnf install /usr/bin/acpidump". Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): acpica-tools-20180209-1.fc27.x86_64 $ ls -l /usr/bin/acpidump lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 26 May 10 23:07 /usr/bin/acpidump -> /etc/alternatives/acpidump How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. dnf install /usr/bin/acpidump 2. dnf install acpica-tools 3. rpm -qf /usr/bin/acpidump Actual results: No match for argument: /usr/bin/acpidump Error: Unable to find a match file /usr/bin/acpidump is not owned by any package Expected results: Successful installation and correct file ownership. Additional info: I don't know why this package is using alternatives for the acpidump tool, but the Packaging Guidelines for alternatives do require your package to own the alternativized files (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Packaging:Alternatives#How_to_use_alternatives): If a package is using alternatives, the files which would otherwise conflict MUST be installed with an appropriate suffix (for example: %{_sbindir}/sendmail.postfix instead of %{_sbindir}/sendmail), the original locations MUST be touched (for example: touch %{_sbindir}/sendmail), the links set up by alternatives MUST be listed as %ghost in the file list and proper Requires: MUST be added, like in the examples below. Putting the alternativized files in the file list ensures that they are owned by respective packages, which means that commands like: rpm -qf /usr/bin/foo yum install /usr/bin/foo repoquery --whatprovides /usr/bin/foo all work properly. Using %ghost for this purpose allows using globs and generated file lists.
It looks like pmtools used to provide acpidump and acpiextract, but it was retired in F20+ and it's dead upstream (website no longer resolves in DNS), so maybe it's time to stop doing alternatives here?

Perhaps so. There is an acpidump in the kernel source tree, but in theory it's the same code; acpiextract I *think* has always been part of ACPICA, but the packaging has changed quite a bit. I have not looked at either of these topics in a while but will do so again. Thanks for the reminder!
