JFTR, what is g-s-d? gnome-software-<something starting with d>?kibi@arya:~$ apt-file search /usr/bin/g*-s*-d* gnome-settings-daemon: /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon
To clarify: it only worked because you had g-s-d installed, so your shell expanded the wildcard.
This works everywhere: $ apt-file search -x '/usr/bin/g.*-s.*-d.*' gnome-settings-daemon: /usr/bin/gnome-settings-daemon groonga-plugin-suggest: /usr/bin/groonga-suggest-create-dataset -- Jakub Wilk
