How to figure out the exact package name of a `.so` file, so that it can be installed through `zypper`?

Question

anisha@linux-dopx:~/tarBalls/qtFlash/bin> ./flashscript 
./flashscript: error while loading shared libraries: libqtnmedia.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

anisha@linux-dopx:~/tarBalls/qtFlash/bin> cnf libqtnmedia.so.2
libqtnmedia.so.2: command not found                                 

Is there a pattern somewhere? How do YOU install a .so file through the package manager?

Answer 1

Maybe with :

zypper what-provides libqtnmedia.so.2

Answer 2

I think zypper wp libqtnmedia.so.2 will do the trick.

zypper wp searches in packages by filename and displays where it is contained.
