One "bodge" is to look for the Javadoc's HTML file instead. On the packages page (http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages) enter (e.g) javax/activation/MimeTypeParameterList.html in the "Search contents of packages" textbox. This will identify libs/libgnujaf-java as the owning package. Of course this is a big bodge, and will only work if the Java package distributes javadocs. But I've found it useful at times. Don't forget to include the ".html" suffix in the search! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
