Is there a simple yum command or some other that indicates where abouts the files belonging to a particular package have been installed?

I think that does the reverse of what I want. It looks like you give it a file, and it tells you which package it belongs to. – nedned Oct 23 '09 at 03:29
Good grief, you're right. Too quick off the keyboard. – womble Oct 23 '09 at 03:50
All fixed now. Sorry 'bout that. – womble Oct 23 '09 at 03:51
yep, that does it :) I wonder why one might want to use the other way that I found. – nedned Oct 23 '09 at 05:26

Looks like this is another way of doing it too:

$ rpm -q --filesbypkg packagename
