apt-cache search <string of text for what you are searching for>

Subject: finding the right package


 

How do you find which package might contain something you need?  I need
glib-config-2.0 (so I can configure fribidi, which is needed to compile
abiword from source).  I do not know what package to get.  Thanks for
any suggestions.  PCR
