well that sounds promising! # locate Contents /usr/doc/texmf/help/Catalogue/00Contents /usr/doc/texmf/latex/latex2e-html/Table_of_Contents.html /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/cbb/docs/cbb-man/icons/00Contents # \ls -lF /var/cache/apt total 2430 drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 21504 May 9 21:27 archives/ -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1227418 May 9 21:39 pkgcache.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1225453 May 9 20:53 srcpkgcache.bin maybe it's on my CD-set, but that's bound to be obsolete an hour after it's been written... so now i go look at debian.org to see if i can download a file called 'Contents-i386.gz'... [hold on--back to the original inquiry: your search didn't seem to turn up the Apache/DB.pm file, either! aaugh!]
