finding package of a file that is not installed
I needed /usr/include/db.h and it took me a while to find it.
How do I find the package that a file belongs to if the package is not yet installed? A complete online cross-reference of files to packages would do it. Does such a think exist? (Looking for something more specific than "google it"!) Thanks |
Absolutely that online reference exists..
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages you can search for packages, or the contents of packages, etc.. heres the results for /usr/include/db.h |
apt-file search <file>
|
farslayer - that's it. I knew it had to be somewhere!
Thanks. |
