Umm, actually, 'rpm -ql name-version-release' should work:

  $ cat /etc/redhat-release 
  Red Hat Linux release 6.2 (Zoot)
  $ rpm --version
  RPM version 3.0.6
  $ rpm -qa |fgrep -i fileutils
  fileutils-4.0-21
  $ rpm -q fileutils
  fileutils-4.0-21
  $ rpm -q fileutils-4.0-21
  fileutils-4.0-21
  $ 

Simon, what version of RPM do you have?  If your kernel is 2.2.14-5.0,
i suspect you've got rpm-3.0.4.  I recommend upgrading to rpm-3.0.5 or
rpm-3.0.6, both available from ftp://ftp.rpm.org/.  (I also recommend
having a look at the other updates available from
ftp://updates.redhat.com/; your kernel is a little old and chock full
of local security vulnerabilities).
