Well, the yp* files are part of NIS, which is in the package
called 'nis'.

If you think the package is already located on your machine,
you can do

dlocate ypwhich

or whatnot. If you don't know whether it's on your machine,
you can run

apt-file update; apt-file search ypwhich

If apt-file isn't already installed on your machine, you can
do

sudo apt-get install apt-file

Cheers,
Steve
