They do different things and (for me anyway) give different results. Consider the package "cltl" that I do not have installed: $ apt-file search cltl # Search repositories cltl: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/60cltl.el cltl: /usr/share/doc-base/cltl cltl: /usr/share/doc/cltl/README.Debian cltl: /usr/share/doc/cltl/changelog.gz cltl: /usr/share/doc/cltl/copyright ...[other results]... $ apt-file search 60cltl.el # Search repositories cltl: /etc/emacs/site-start.d/60cltl.el $ dpkg-query -S cltl # Search installed packages dpkg: *cltl* not found. $ dpkg-query -S 60cltl.el # Search installed packages dpkg: *60cltl.el* not found.
