Something in the lines of

'/nevlastní žádný balíček/ {print $2}'\
|xargs repoquery -qf|sort -u|xargs yum install -y
run on different directories (various lib* and *bin directories).
('nevlastní žádný balíček' is 'not owned by any package' in
Czech).
Which I think means something totally unpredictable, I guess.
But if a pkg requires mta and has nothing else to show us then sure,
shortest name will win.
Would you rather it be unpredictable?
No, I would prefer FESCO (or whomever) approved policy stating
that e.g. /usr/sbin/sendmail or mta-daemon means (in this or any
other order):
1) sendmail
2) postfix
3) exim
4) huge group of pidgeons,
5) small group of pidgeons,
6) a pidgeon
7) bottle in the sea
8) Lotus Notes
9) M$ Exchange
10) qmail
or something of that sort.
