rpmfind.net' seems to find an rpm for an individual file, but I'm
looking for the major rpm that a single file belongs to. I know how
to find it once the rpm is installed. I need to know to find the rpm
BEFORE it is installed.
If I understand your problem correctly, the solution is to use yum
instead of rpm. The command
# yum -y install blivit
will install blivit, along with all its prerequisites.
