[TriLUG] resolving a dependency

I keep running into this issue.

I try to load a package, say packageX.  When I try to install, it says that
i need fileY to resolve
some dependency.  How can I find the package that might contain that fileY,
so I can install packageX.

If a previous version of the file is on the system, you can often see what
package it was associated with.
But if the file is not there, what do you do.

Any help would be appreciated.
