I may be missing the blindingly obvious, so apologies if so. I wanted to run the 'ip' command and found it wasn't installed on the particular box I was using. As it was installed on another machine I was able to:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ which ip /bin/ip [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ dpkg -S ip | grep '/bin/ip$' iproute: /bin/ip So I knew I needed the 'iproute' package. Problem solved. However, if I hadn't had it installed on that other machine, how could I have discovered which package I needed *without* using the excellent package search facility at http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages#search_contents - is this sort of search possible with aptitude and/or apt-cache etc? -- Bob Cox.
