Re: apt-get problem & where is program x?

[Paul Harris]

hi,

it seems obvious to me, but whenever i am missing a program like startx,
xterm, rgrep, libXpm, etc i just grep the Contents file:

<download Contents-i386.gz>
        (or whatever for your architecture)
        this is in dists/slink/


zgrep xterm Contents-i386.gz | less
        
        if you get HEAPS of results, narrow it down with

zgrep xterm Contents-i386.gz | grep bin | less

        and there will be the package name, no stress.
