CentOS - Sep 2014 - repoquery -f does not work well.

Hi.

I've found inconstancy between output of repoquery and rpm. I was 
looking forward towards apache php 5.4 module which must provided by 
some package SCL (can someone tell me?).

rpm -qf /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so
httpd-2.2.15-29.el6.centos.x86_64
repoquery -qf /etc/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so

so repoquery results in no output

yum list installed httpd
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror
Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile
  * c6-media:
Installed Packages
httpd.x86_64 2.2.15-29.el6.centos @c6-media

repoquery -qa httpd
httpd-0:2.2.15-29.el6.centos.x86_64

No wonder libphp5.so results in no output.

The 'httpd' package actually contains the mod_proxy.so as
/usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so.  Running
'repoquery -f /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so' will generate the
correct response.

RPM, on the other hand, has the benefit of having a local filesystem
with the actual files installed.

One of the first things that the 'rpm' command does is stat() the path 
/etc/httpd/modules, discover it's a symlink, and then run the actual
path /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_proxy.so through the RPM database.
The command is going to pass the 'real' location (as best it can find)
for any query with file paths.  'repoquery' doesn't have the benefit
of having the package installed, so it can't perform this local
lookup.  It has to rely only on what the package manifest lists.

Software collections are provided in a different directory. querying for
/etc/whatever or /usr/whatever won't work, as scls live under /opt/rh

For 6, the package is httpd24.x86_64, php54-php.x86_64 etc are the scl
packages. To use them, you'd need to install the
centos-release-SCL.x86_64 which enables the repositories.
