Hello John. > It's perfectly sane behavior, though not properly documented. 'dpkg -S' > accepts regular expressions. Try > > dpkg -S '/bin/[a-z]s' Are you sure that it supports regular expressions? $ dpkg -S '/usr/bin/X.*' dpkg: /usr/bin/X.* not found. But: $ dpkg -S '/usr/bin/X*' xserver-xorg-core: /usr/bin/Xorg x11-common: /usr/bin/X xnest: /usr/bin/Xnest libsoap-lite-perl: /usr/bin/XMLRPCsh x11-common: /usr/bin/X11 Don’t you think that it supports only some kind of globbing like ls and others do?
