Thanks! But whatif that virtual package is not in the
/etc/apt/sources.list? For example, if only CD#1 is available at my
home. Then, suppose I'd like to install package "xyzzy" which I
copy manually to a disket (at my office). After using "dpkg -i xyzzy",
I realize that virtual package "plugh" is also needed.
Is there a way to find that virtual package (at my office)
by using a search utility?
thank you,
