apt-get? So you’re on a debian/ubuntu based linux system. Find out some basics 
about hackrf:
$ which hackrf_info
That should tell you where the hackrf tools are living; /usr/bin is probably 
from a package, /usr/local/bin is most likely a source install, but give a 
check:
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/hackrf_info
Or whatever path; this command shows you which package, if any, put that binary 
on the system.
Then you can find what dynamic libraries the binary is using:
$ ldd /usr/bin/hackrf_info
Very often these libraries are not the actual binary files, but symbolic links 
to them. Trace them back and then “dpkg -S” on the actual library binary and 
you’ll
know which package it came from.
From a package is easier to upgrade, but can be a bit out of date, from the 
source and it is all down to you. Or do both and have an inconsistent mess,
which I’ve got to sort out now I’ve found it.
