Equivalent to urpmi/apt-get for RedHat?

[Alexander Skwar <askwar email-server info>]

Hello.

I'm thinking about converting to Red Hat from Mandrake.  One extremely
useful tool in Mandrake, was "urpmi" which is somewhat like apt-get from
Debian (or apt-rpm from .  Both tools allow easy installation of RPMs.
So, if I wanted to install proftpd, I'd type:

	urpmi proftpd

urpmi would then download and install proftpd and any dependencies. In
case all (or some) of the packages are on the install CDs, urpmi would
prompt to insert the correct CD and install from there.

Another nifty feature of the urpmi tools is urpmf.  Suppose I wanted to
know, which package contains /usr/include/time.h, I'd type:

	[askwar teich .procmail]$ urpmf /usr/include/time.h
	glibc-devel:/usr/include/time.h

Or suppose, I wanted to know, which package provides the virtual
capability "zlib-devel", I'd type:

	[askwar teich .procmail]$ urpmq zlib-devel
	zlib1-devel

This would tell me, that the package zlib1-devel needs to be installed
for this capability.  This of course also works for not installed
packages (as long as they are listed in the urpmi databases, of course).

What's the equivalent in RedHat to these tools?  It would be very nice,
if this tool doesn't require a X gui; ie. command line tools are
preferred.  If it requires a GUI, then so be it.

Thanks a lot,

Alexander Skwar
