$ apt-file search bin/mysqladmin mysql-client-5.0: /usr/bin/mysqladmin This should work as long as you know the exact name of the command and as long as it is a "normal" executable in /bin, /usr/sbin, /sbin or /usr/sbin. (Chris and Johannes pointed out apt-file already; it seems that you missed the relevant line in the output that you posted earlier.) -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
