just header files it seems to me???

[root at fileserver root]# locate avahi
[root at fileserver root]# locate busybox
/var/cache/yum/core/headers/busybox-anaconda-0-1.00.pre8-3.i386.hdr
/var/cache/yum/core/headers/busybox-0-1.00.pre8-3.i386.hdr
/var/spool/up2date/busybox-anaconda-1.00.pre8-3.i386.hdr
/var/spool/up2date/busybox-1.00.pre8-3.i386.hdr
[root at fileserver root]# locate zeroconf
