apt-file is only handy if you know the exact file you're looking for,
however. This isn't usually an issue for most people, who start on a

Heya there.
Now that packages.debian.org is down, I have found myself looking for "which deb
provides such file/library" a pair of times. Having resolved the situation in unusual
froms, I'm starting to miss packages.deb.
Is there a mirror or equivalent search engine?
Google shows that at leas
Just a notice to say that there is now a US mirror of the LJ Debian
Package finder. That brings the total up to four mirrors (US, New Zealand
(primary), Sweden and Czech).
Personally I couldn't live without it (which is of course why it was
written :-), and I think it makes life mucho e
There are three package finders that I know:
o The one by me, http://sunsite.tut.fi/finder/
o Larry and Joe's Debian Package Finder (has mirrors too)

o http://www.debian.org/packages.html

Pay no attention to that cliff ahead.
See http://sunsite.tut.fi/finder/ for my Debian GNU/Linux package
finder.
You can use the finder to do for example these things:
o search for packages with a keyword
o search for packages owning the file you're looking for
o browse stable/unstable/non-US sections and see what's in them.

Our Debian Package Finder is now in version 1.1. Documentation has been

If people would be willing to setup local mirrors it would be great.
