[aklug] Re: Missing dependency

--whatprovides seems to want the name of a file as input on my box
(f12), not a package.

[jimg@dartangnan ~]$ rpm -q --whatprovides xen-libs
no package provides xen-libs
[jimg@dartangnan ~]$ rpm -q
--whatprovides /usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/sos/plugins/xen.pyc
sos-2.2-0.fc12.noarch
[jimg@dartangnan ~]$
