Interesting.

"I don't have a clue about the package system I use but XYZ is better

Because that's the low-end package manager job, and, - surpise! - dpkg can
do that.

dpkg -S /path/to/dile 

for installed packages.

There's also apt-file, too, if you look for what (un)installed paclage
a file is in. That one looks in the ahives Contents files
