	ldd /usr/lib/ezmlm/sub-mysql.so
         libnsl.so.1 => /lib/libnsl.so.1 (0x00241000)
         libm.so.6 => /lib/tls/libm.so.6 (0x00d12000)
         libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x00111000)
         /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x002de000)

	rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/lib/ezmlm/sub-mysql.so
	ezmlm-idx-mysql-6.0.0-1
