Hi, One of the most common queries I have with the Debian packaging system, which I don't know how to make, is to search for the name of the package(s) which install a given file or files. For instance, the most recent such case I have was looking for the gvim executable. As it happens, this is provided by vim-gtk, but that isn't obvious.
Clearly, on an installed file, I can use dpkg -S, but what about looking for where I install something from? If there isn't a simple tool to do this (or even if there is!) is there a more structured or navigable list of what packages do what in Debian (no, dselect doesn't qualify, IMHO)? Paul.
