[PLUG] how to find where a lib is

[Bill Barry]

It seems that rpm --redhatprovides  depends critically on
some provides directives in the spec file and is not always
very useful. So it does not very often answer the question
you are asking. In general I would like to know how to
answer this question also. The answer to your specific question is
rpm -qf /usr/lib/libcrypto.so.0.9.6
openssl096-0.9.6-13
