I know it's too late now, but if you do have yum installed with the repos defined in /etc/repos.d, this gave me an answer in just a few minutes: faster than even the great response (often) from this list.
# Disable protect plugins, ensure all repos listed # yum --noplugins --enablerepo=* provides unrar # Edit boring stuff out of this reply
unrar.i386 ... 3.5.4-1.2.el4.rf dries
What program should i use to extract rar files on linux?
Keep in mind that dag/dries *normally* prefer that rpmforge be used. But the query stll shows dag/dries. But I have them disabled and rpmforge active. WFM so far.
Does apt have the ability to look at CentOS "places" (I 'm apt to know zip about apt:-)? Does it have a "provides" or "whatprovides" equivalent? ISTM that taking advantage of those features would be faster than waiting on somebody's good-nature response at their leisure?
Or, because I'm often very impatient and lazy, I keep several quite up- to-date listings from all the repos in /var. So
# grep unrar /var/YumAvail.lst.07 unrar.i386 3.6.2-1.el4.rf dag unrar-debuginfo.i386 3.5.4-1.2.el4.rf dries #

Don't pitch a fit, it'd be a waste of time! :-)
