You might want to install pin, and use that for scanning the install media database, webpin is also handy that way, but I don't know where to get it.
In YaST Software Management, Search can provide all packages that contain certain string if you check RPM provides, and for clean results, uncheck first 2-3 lines that are enabled by default.
(sometimes is good to be childish, and play with options in YaST)
Yast doesn't search in the list of files provided by an rpm if it is not installed, whereas pin does. It is sometimes more useful when wanting to find what rpm is needed by the configure scripts. But not always; for example, Cristian wrote: ] libmagic is part of the "file" package, and you need file-devel to link ] custom build applications with that library. Pin doesn't find any file-devel, but webpin does find it, in the oss repo. Why? Because pin does its search in the /var/lib/pin/ARCHIVES.gz archive, which is typically retrieved from the DVD, and only lists what the DVD contains. We would need an ARCHIVES.gz containing the whole oss + non-oss repo list. - -- Cheers, Carlos E.
