searching for packages by files

[Glen Ogilvie]

Hi,

I've been looking at smart, and trying to find out if it has the ability to 
search for packages based on the name of a file that the package contains? 

rpmdrake for mandrake can do this, with the search in files option.  I am 
aware that smart may not be able to do this for all types of repositories, as 
some of them don't contain file lists as part of the meta information about 
the package.  However, for the ones that do, this would be useful to me.   

For example, yesterday, I needed to know which package contained the file: 
v4l2-common.h, using the rpmdrake tool, I was able to find out that it was 
only available in some of the newest kernel sources.

Just wondering if the is a way to use smart to do the same thing?

Regards.
