Hmm, I can't get apt-file to work at all:

    [EMAIL PROTECTED] > apt-file search libsndfile.so

    [EMAIL PROTECTED] > dpkg -S libsndfile.so
    libsndfile1: /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1
    libsndfile1-dev: /usr/lib/libsndfile.so
    libsndfile1: /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.12

    [EMAIL PROTECTED] > apt-file search libsndfile.so.1.0.12

    [EMAIL PROTECTED] > dpkg -S libsndfile.so.1.0.12
    libsndfile1: /usr/lib/libsndfile.so.1.0.12
