I believe that they are asking what packages you have installed. Try:

rpm -qa | grep Brother

etc.

They didn't do that to me, Alan, but from memory, the logs they asked for
didn't involve package names. Tell them you are using a RPM distro.

I have dpkg installed (it was a dependency of alien,) and man dpkg says:

dpkg -l | --list package-name-pattern ...
List packages matching given pattern.

So Jim's equivalent should be correct.
