        under RH 6.0, it's called binutils; which caused me no end of
headaches when I ran across this problem on my RH6.1 box. rpmfind said as86
was in binutils; but there's no binutils under 6.1! I ended up installing
binutils from 6.0.
        
        what rpm *really* needs (and it may be possible, I just don't know
it yet), is a way to query which *uninstalled* package owns a given utility.
rpmfind will do that; but what if I don't have a net connection? and we've
already seen that their dbase can be out of date.
        what I want to do is go to the RPMS directory on the CD, and query
all the packages for the utility I want. I think 'rpm -qpl *|grep
<utilname>' might do it; but there should be a simpler (and faster) way to
do it.
