Re: package

[ann kok <annkok2001@yahoo.com>]

Hi all

sorry. I still don't get it

I install apt-file as suggestion.

but I run this command, I get nothing !

apt-file search `which ip` | grep "ip$"


in addition, what do I know what package I should
install when I would like to use this command eg: "ip
addr"

Thank you again
