You can also query Debian website for any package: http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages For example: http://packages.debian.org/lenny/all/apt-file/filelist Or even search what package contains a binary by using the dropdown menu "package contents" option: http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=apt-file Greetings, -- Camaleón -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
