You already got your answer, but for future reference, you can work this sort of thing out for yourself a number of ways. If the file is installed on your syste,, you can use dpkg -S to find which package owns it: $ dpkg -S /usr/bin/make make: /usr/bin/make Note that this only searches files owned by packages; some packages generate files like their own configuration, and those files wouldn't be owned. To search files in all packages even if they're not installed install "apt-file". After install it needs an update, and then you can search: $ apt-file update […] $ apt-file search bin/make afterstep: /usr/bin/makeastheme aircrack-ng: /usr/bin/makeivs-ng atac: /usr/lib/atac/bin/makeplot.pl ataqv: /usr/bin/make_ataqv_pipeline bcache-tools: /usr/sbin/make-bcache cbflib-bin: /usr/bin/makecbf […] # Use a regular expression to anchor the end instead of match # all sub-strings $ apt-file search -x 'bin/make$' make: /usr/bin/make make-guile: /usr/bin/make There are more ways to solve this but those are two of the easiest.
