To find which files were installed by a package, use package = the package/programs name package.deb = the deb file of the package/program $ dpkg -L package
root# apt-get install apt-file root# apt-file update $ apt-file list package Or if you have the package as a $ dpkg --contents package.deb or $ dpkg -c package.deb To find which package provides a file that is already on your system, use: $ dpkg -S /path/to/file To find which package provides a file that is not currently on your system, use $ apt-file search /path/to/file |
