Sure, but Gene did not know earlier that exfat-fuse was already installed, nor that it's named exfat-fuse rather than exfat; similar problem with libgtk2 a few weeks ago. apt-file doesn't care, so it's a useful tool for Gene's armoury. BTW dpkg -L foo ≋ apt-file list foo but again, apt-file doesn't need foo to be installed. Cheers, David.
