Last time I ran debian was several yrs ago.. back then I learned a way
using dpkg to extract the packagename of files found on the

I even kept a note about it which of course is no where to be found
now that I need it again.
Anyone know how to find which package installed a give file?
something like this:
$ dpkg -S /bin/bash
bash: /bin/bash
Also:
$ apt-file search /bin/bash
bash: /bin/bash
bash: /usr/bin/bashbug
bash-minimal: /bin/bash-minimal
bash-static: /bin/bash-static
