All geek questions in one place

Is there a way to find out which packages provide the file?

For example, if. / configure or Make tells me that I am missing libX11.so.6, and this is nowhere on my system, is there a tool or website in which I could enter

libX11.so.6


then giveaway / arch and go back

libx11-6 libx11-6-debug [or something else; README query will probably return record columns]

http://sysinf0.klabs.be/ does something similar for some distributions and architectures, but it does not seem to have more recent distributions. In addition, they do not have an entry for the file name, so you need the Google packagename website: sysinf0.klabs.be.

I am most interested in Ubuntu, but it would be nice to know about similar tools for other distributions.

Debian does this through the website:

  • find Packages in the Search for Package Contents section
  • the answer in this example
  • where "packages containing files whose name contains the keyword" for unstable distribution (as the largest) on "any" architecture

Ubuntu probably does something similar, but I don't know the site / start panel very well.

You can also get the index file ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/sid/Contents-i386.gz, but as it changes frequently, the website option is probably more convenient.

If you have a file on your computer and want to know which package is responsible for it, then (on Debian and Ubuntu) this is ...

$ dpkg -S FILENAME
