Have you ever tried to find where a specific file came from? If it was installed from an RPM, there is an easy way. Just use the following command.
rpm -q --whatprovides /path/to/file

the correct command is
rpm -q –whatprovides /path/to/file
(2 hypens before whatprovides)

ah, the html is stripping the second hypen. lets try
rpm -q -\-whatprovides /path/to/file

Looks like Wordpress was formatting it strange. I’ve fixed it so it appears correct.
