Sorry, this is me being dense. I thought that apt-cache search knew about the list of files in each package; careful reading of the manpage shows it's only the package names and descriptions which are searched.
'command-not-found' doesn't find mtree either: br...@x100:~$ mtree No command 'mtree' found, did you mean: Command 'ytree' from package 'ytree' (universe) Command 'ptree' from package 'adacontrol' (universe) Command 'tree' from package 'tree' (universe) Command 'ttree' from package 'libtemplate-perl' (main) mtree: command not found (Actually it *does* know about freebsd-mtree, but only if you try that explicitly) If there's a general way to locate a package which contains a file matching pattern /foo/, apt-cache isn't it.
