MBOX_FORMAT_SUCKS From the debian archive, like this:

stefan:~$ dlocate /usr/bin/ftp                  # What package is ftp in?
                                                # Maybe alternatives...
stefan:~$ ls -l /usr/bin/ftp
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           21 Aug  2  2003 /usr/bin/ftp -> 
/etc/alternatives/ftp
stefan:~$ ls -l /etc/alternatives/ftp
lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root           19 Aug  2  2003 /etc/alternatives/ftp -> 
/usr/bin/netkit-ftp
stefan:~$ dlocate /usr/bin/netkit-ftp           # Who provides netkit-ftp?
ftp: /usr/bin/netkit-ftp
stefan:~$ cd /usr/src/                          # location doesn't really matter
