That's by and large how I do it, although dpkg -S /path/to/program doesn't require apt-file to be installed. > However, for some programs, like LibreOffice Writer, I get > libreoffice-core, not libreoffice-writer. That's actually correct. LibreOffice is really by and large one big binary with different "modes" for Writer, etc., and it is indeedn libreoffice-core which ships /usr/lib/libreoffice/program/soffice.bin.
