Geez. Try answering the question, not insulting the guy. The dpkg man page is unclear on what -S does: dpkg -S | --search filename-search-pattern ... Search for a filename from installed packages. So, is there a dpkg option that allows one to determine from which package a file came? Or, is there some other program that can provide this information?
