That's because you're searching for the wrong thing in the former case. First off, Cabal is a packaging system and library, not a command. Most programs that use it ship a file called Setup.hs or Setup.lhs that you compile using ghc, or run with runghc. I had not heard of apt-file before; thanks. dpkg -S ByteString will give you what you want. I don't know if apt-file is trying to match the full filename, or maybe you have a very old version of Debian. For a more useful result, try ghc-pkg -l. You'll see Cabal and bytestring both listed there. > Do I need a haskell specific entry in sources.list?
