So now the original poster just needs to do:

package = search_file("bin/todos");

where:

search_file($file) {
    if (!file_exists("/usr/bin/apt-file")) {
        package = search_file("/usr/bin/apt-file");
        execute("apt-get","update");
        execute("apt-get","install",$package);
    }
    execute("apt-file","update");
    $package = stdout(execute("apt-file","search",$file));
}
   

This infinite recursion will take several minutes (maximum) to
execute, I think (assuming the if test succeeds).
