Package: aptitude Version: 0.6.8.1 Severity: wishlist I often experience some program depend on a file. I then have to locate which package may contain the file and then install the package.
It looks like this: $ foo Could not load library: libglut.so.3: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory. $ apt-file search libglut.so.3 freeglut3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3 freeglut3: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libglut.so.3.9.0 $ sudo aptitude install freeglut3 It would be nice if I did not have to go through apt-file to locate the package, but that I instead simply could do: $ sudo aptitude install libglut.so.3 If multiple packages contain libglut.so.3 then aptitude should ask me to select one of them. /Ole -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
