Description Need Real Name 2008-04-14 20:57:45 UTC
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.

Comment 1 John Poelstra 2008-04-14 23:06:43 UTC
'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?





Comment 2 Need Real Name 2008-04-15 05:55:51 UTC
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.

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2008-05-14 09:26:53 UTC
Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA.
