sh$ rpm -q --requires sssd-krb5-common | grep com
libcom_err.so.2()(64bit)
sssd-common = 1.12.3-0.20141111.1042.git30c964a.master.fc21

sh $rpm -q --requires sssd-common | grep com
config(sssd-common) = 1.12.3-0.20141111.1042.git30c964a.master.fc21
libcom_err.so.2()(64bit)
libsss_krb5_common.so()(64bit)


sssd-krb5-common contains libsss_krb5_common.so()(64bit)


sssd-krb5-common -> sssd-common -> libsss_krb5_common.so()(64bit) -> sssd-krb5-common
