If I have the name of a file like xpm.h and want to know what package
contains it. And I find that `apt-cache search xpm.h' doesn't know
about it.
And dpkg -S xpm.h doesn't either
I'm assuming that means it isn't here but might be in a
package in the distro on line somewhere.
Where is the database with this kind of information?
search.debian.org isn't the right place I don't think
One can compile a (rough) list of all file names in the install with:
Something like:
dpkg -L $(dpkg -l|awk '{gsub(/^..../,"",$0);print $1}')
And with a little script, print the package name on each line too.
But where is a database that contains that kind of information for all
packages in a distribution? That is, a list of all the file names in
all the packages of a distribution.
