- From man dpkg:
dpkg -S | --search filename-search-pattern ...
Search  for  a  filename from installed packages. All standard shell 
wildchars can be used in the pattern.

Notice the _installed_ part.  Use this to figure out where a file on your 
system came from.

I assume you are trying to find out what package you need to install to get a 
certain header file.  I'm not sure of the best way to do that, anyone else?
