Thanks Leonard for your prompt response. My /var/cache/apt/archives is blank :-) ----------------------------------------------------------------- debian:/var/cache# apt-cache search fortune fortunes-min - Datafiles containing fortune cookies fortunes-off - Datafiles containing offensive fortune cookies fortune-mod - Fortune cookies provided upon demand. fortunes - Datafiles containing fortune cookies fortunes-cs - Czech and Slovak data files for fortune. fortunes-it - Italian fortune cookies debian:/var/cache# ----------------------------------------------------------------- Is there any way I can find out without doing dpkg -L <package-name> | grep fortune directly using apt-cache ?
