I am trying to install a rpm on my linux and am getting this error:

error: failed dependencies:
        /sbin/service   is needed by <rpmname>

I searched for rpms that would contain it...but didnt find any. How do
I install this on my redhat machine?

On a Fedora 2 box I have here /sbin/service is in the initscripts package,
as shown by "rpm -qf /sbin/service".

I have a version of initscripts installed already:

$ rpm -qa | grep initscripts
initscripts-6.7-1.5.3

I get this while querying for /sbin/service

$ rpm -qf /sbin/service
error: file /sbin/service: No such file or directory

"rpm -V initscripts" to check the current installation - show missing files etc.
"rpm -ql initscripts" to list what files rpm thinks are in the package.

There were the results of the queries:
