If you wish to know which
package provided a
file on a CentOS Linux system, you can use the RPM command rpm
-qf followed by the location and name of the file. E.g., to find
which package provided the geopiplookup utility, which allows one to
determine which country a particular IP address is associated with,
I could determine the file's location and then use the RPM query.
[root@localhost ~]# which /usr/bin/geoiplookup /usr/bin/geoiplookup [root@localhost ~]# rpm -qf /usr/bin/geoiplookup GeoIP-1.5.0-13.el7.x86_64 [root@localhost ~]#
If you want information on the package, you can use the rpm -qi
packagename command. E.g.:
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -qi GeoIP Name : GeoIP Version : 1.5.0 Release : 13.el7 Architecture: x86_64 Install Date: Sat 09 Feb 2019 10:28:14 PM UTC Group : Development/Libraries Size : 3912607 License : LGPLv2+ and GPLv2+ and CC-BY-SA Signature : RSA/SHA256, Mon 12 Nov 2018 02:26:31 PM UTC, Key ID 24c6a8a7f4a80eb5 Source RPM : GeoIP-1.5.0-13.el7.src.rpm Build Date : Tue 30 Oct 2018 10:02:28 PM UTC Build Host : x86-01.bsys.centos.org Relocations : (not relocatable) Packager : CentOS BuildSystem <http://bugs.centos.org> Vendor : CentOS URL : http://www.maxmind.com/app/c Summary : Library for country/city/organization to IP address or hostname mapping Description : GeoIP is a C library that enables the user to find the country that any IP address or hostname originates from. It uses a file based database that is accurate as of June 2007 and can optionally be updated on a weekly basis by installing the GeoIP-update package. This database simply contains IP blocks as keys, and countries as values. This database should be more complete and accurate than using reverse DNS lookups. This package includes GeoLite data created by MaxMind, available from http://www.maxmind.com/ [root@localhost ~]#
Alternatively, you can use yum to determine which package contains a file and which repository provides the package. E.g.:
[root@localhost ~]# yum whatprovides /usr/bin/geoiplookup
