How can i find out, what files a RPM is provding?

[Roger Grosswiler]

Hi,

i want to check, whether i have Tar.pm installed on my system. This must 
have been happened via yum - so rpm.

yum provides is extremly slow on this machine, so i would like to check 
this with rpm. So how can i find out, whick rpm-package is providing Tar 
.pm?

Thanks a lot
Roger

Actually, as he wanted to find the owner of Tar.pm, rather than tar itself...

rpm -qf $(locate Tar.pm)

Assuming Tar.pm is properly installed in your perl module tree:

$ rpm -qf `find /usr/lib/perl5 -name Tar.pm -print`

Paul.

What about:
rpm -q --whatprovides Tar.pm

You must either provide the full pathname to Tar.pm or substitute a  
command that will provide the full pathname for this to work:

rpm -q --whatprovides Tar.pm
no package provides Tar.pm

rpm -q --whatprovides  /usr/lib/perl5/..../Tar.pm
perl-Archive-Tar-1.08-3

rpm -q --whatprovides `locate Tar.pm`
perl-Archive-Tar-1.08-3

If you want to list the contents of a package, jus do:

rpm -qpl Tar.rpm
