Yuck.  Why not just 'rpm -qf `which tail`' ?

Both + and - work on these three systems:

RHEL ES3 (Taroon):
    coreutils-4.5.3-26
    /usr/bin/tail	35604 bytes	2003-Aug-12

RHEL ES2.1 Update3 (Panama)
    textutils-2.0.14-2
    /usr/bin/tail	31100 bytes	2001-Aug-14

RHEL ES2.1 Update3 (Panama) w/ CentOS updates
    textutils-2.0.14-3.1
    /usr/bin/tail	31051 bytes	2003-Dec-23
