If you're using Red Hat try:
rpm -qp --filesbypkg *.rpm |grep <your wanted file>
if you want to search through uninstalled .rpm files
(can take a while if searching through lots of rpms - you might want to
catch and compress the output for future reference)
If you're searching your installed rpms use
rpm -qf filename
or
rpm -qa --filesbypkg
for a complete list.
cheers,
Dave.
