It means this:

[nbecker at nbecker1 ~]$ repoquery --whatprovides /usr/lib/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-
pkcs11.so
[nbecker at nbecker1 ~]$ 

OTOH, 
[nbecker at nbecker1 ~]$ repoquery --whatprovides */gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
gnome-keyring-0:3.4.1-2.fc17.x86_64
gnome-keyring-0:3.4.1-4.fc17.x86_64


repoquery -l gnome-keyring-0:3.4.1-2.fc17.x86_64 | grep gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
/usr/lib64/pkcs11/gnome-keyring-pkcs11.so
