LaTeX Error: file 'breakcites.sty' not found on Fedora 24/25?

Question

I am using Fedora 24  and have installed all possible TeX packages

sudo dnf install tex*
 sudo dnf install texlive-*

etc...

I am using TeX Maker 4.5. How  can I solve the 'breakcites.sty' not found problem?
I tried to install some rpms found here
but with no success. 
I downloaded  a breakcites.tzr.xz but could not know how to include the sty file that is included inside.

Any suggestions on how to install this on Fedora 24 / Fedora 25 (I have another machine with Fedora 25)?

General answers if possible that works for Fedora and other distros  might be helpful and well appreciated in case someone has the same problem for other distros. Thanks in advance for the help.

I found the solution for Fedora 24 thanks to the help provided by  Skillmon comment.

I installed the Fedora Rawhide x86_64 package: "texlive-breakcites-svn21014-32.fc26.1.noarch.rpm". 
I did provide the link in the question.

sudo dnf install PathToRPMFile/texlive-breakcites-svn21014-32.fc26.1.noarch.rpm

Then I restarted the system.

In the TeX Live Arch Linux Wiki provided thankfully by Skillmon Arch Wiki
I issued on my Fedora terminal (with sudo) the following commands:

sudo mktexlsr

and also this command

sudo texhash

This have done some refreshing of directory indexes (even that did not happen after the system restart for unknown reason!!). This makes the breakcites package work on all future LaTeX projects and thus solved the error.

Since this question pops up on search engines even if you don't specify you're using Fedora:
On Ubuntu you can get breakcites.sty using
sudo apt install texlive-bibtex-extra

as already mentioned by Albert in the comments.
