rpm -qf 'fill in file name here' this will tell you hat RPM owned that file.

Then how do I find the rpm? I need to figure out which repo it came from, then download it from the repo, then unpack it and do a diff.

'yum info <packagename>' seems to just say 'Repo : installed'. How do I get yum to tell me what repo it came from? Or should I just google for the rpm name and download it from any old place? Dave

rpm -qi <package name>

man rpm RTFM
