I think I have stumbled over a problem with the rpm database. $ rpm -q --whatprovides /path/to/binary should return the package name that owns a given binary or file. For two programs so far, after my f8->f9 upgrade, it hasn't. These programs were bind-utils and liferea - not uncommon programs.
'bind-utils' is a package not a program so that won't work rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/liferea works fine for me Panu, do you concur this is not a bug?
Both: rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/dig rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/liferea told me that the binary was not owned by any package. After re-installing the packages using yum, they are now owned by something.
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
There's no more data to provide, and I can't change this to RH_WERENT_QUICK_ENOUGH_TO_RESPOND_WHILE_I_WAS_EXPERIENCING_THE_BUG
