Hi, [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -p traceroute Package: traceroute Priority: optional Section: net Installed-Size: 100 Maintainer: Herbert Xu <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 1.4a5-3 Replaces: netstd Depends: libc6 (>= 2.1.2) Filename: dists/potato/main/binary-i386/net/traceroute_1.4a5-3.deb Size: 18620 MD5sum: feba02e20848bdfafa6bf7dd9c594eba Description: Traces the route taken by packets over a TCP/IP network. The traceroute utility displays the route used by IP packets on their way to a specified network (or Internet) host. Traceroute displays the IP number and host name (if possible) of the machines along the route taken by the packets. Traceroute is used as a network debugging tool. If you're having network connectivity problems, traceroute will show you where the trouble is coming from along the route. . Install traceroute if you need a tool for diagnosing network connectivity problems. You can also check 'apt-cache search <packagename>' to find things in cases when the package name is a little more obscure.
