For RPMs that you have, and if you have the space to blow, copy them all
to the hard drive. Then, search them with something like
for file in * ; do
  rpm -qlp $file | grep -q search_term && echo $file
done

or, go to rpmfind.net or freshrpms.net and see what you can search on. I
know rpmfind.net lets you search for RPMs containing a particular file.

or, ask a friendly geek. I have

/usr/lib/libgimp-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimp-1.2.so.0.0.3
/usr/lib/libgimpui-1.2.so.0
/usr/lib/libgimpui-1.2.so.0.0.3

(among others) in gimp-1.2.3-9.i386.rpm . It sucks that SANE ('Standard
Apple Numerical Environment'? Ain't acronym overloading fun?) wants you
to install Gimp.
