In yum, I can use for example "yum provides /usr/bin/base64" to check what package in what repo has /usr/bin/base64. But "zypper what-provides /usr/bin/base64" always says "no providers of '/usr/bin/base64' fouind". So what does what-provides provide? Any equal function in zypper like "yum provides"?
It actually is equal, but not all /usr/bin/* files are included in metadata, and we don't download & parse the entire filelist.xml.gz. We could do this on demand, but there are currently no such plans. Does yum always digest filelist? -- cheers, jano Ján Kupec YaST team ---------------------------------------------------------(PGP)--- Key ID: 637EE901 Fingerprint: 93B9 C79B 2D20 51C3 800B E09B 8048 46A6 637E E901 ---------------------------------------------------------(IRC)--- Server: irc.freenode.net Nick: jniq Channels: #zypp #yast #suse #susecz ---------------------------------------------------------(EOF)---
