Re: apt-get problem & where is program x?

[Paul Harris <harri-pc@ee.uwa.edu.au>]

hi,

it seems obvious to me, but whenever i am missing a program like startx,
xterm, rgrep, libXpm, etc i just grep the Contents file:

<download Contents-i386.gz>
	(or whatever for your architecture)
	this is in dists/slink/


zgrep xterm Contents-i386.gz | less
	
	if you get HEAPS of results, narrow it down with

zgrep xterm Contents-i386.gz | grep bin | less

	and there will be the package name, no stress.
