Not to my knownledge. $ apt-cache show host Package: host Priority: extra Section: net Installed-Size: 164 Maintainer: Thomas Seyrat <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Version: 20000331-8 Replaces: dnsutils (<< 1:9.0.0) Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13) Conflicts: dnsutils (<< 1:9.0.0) Filename: pool/main/h/host/host_20000331-8_i386.deb Size: 71230 MD5sum: 634b3525d8add1d3a49eb697b6eaec49 Description: Utility for Querying DNS Servers 'host' is a utility, similar to 'nslookup' (deprecated) or 'dig', used to query DNS servers for domain names and zones. . This package provides the original version of 'host', originally in the package 'dnsutils'. BIND9 provides a similar utility, in 'bind9-host'. Reading that makes me think only "host" is in there. Try this to find the wanted package: $ dpkg -S nslookup dnsutils: /usr/share/man/man1/nslookup.1.gz dnsutils: /usr/bin/nslookup Follow it up with apt-cache show to see what is in it. $ apt-cache show dnsutils Package: dnsutils Priority: standard Section: net Installed-Size: 226 Maintainer: LaMont Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Architecture: i386 Source: bind9 Version: 1:9.2.1-4 Replaces: bind, bind9 (<< 1:9.1.0-3) Depends: libc6 (>= 2.2.5-13), libdns5, libisc4, liblwres1, libssl0.9.6, bind9-host | host Suggests: rblcheck Conflicts: netstd (<< 2.00) Filename: pool/main/b/bind9/dnsutils_9.2.1-4_i386.deb Size: 131130 MD5sum: 9ac89e6bcc113be8ceb2c9f5b3499c4b Description: Clients provided with BIND This package delivers various client programs related to DNS that are derived from the BIND source tree.

Better make sure: $ dpkg -L dnsutils /. /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/dig /usr/bin/nslookup /usr/bin/nsupdate /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/dnsutils /usr/share/doc/dnsutils/copyright /usr/share/doc/dnsutils/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/dnsutils/changelog.Debian.gz /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man1 /usr/share/man/man1/dig.1.gz /usr/share/man/man1/nslookup.1.gz /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/nsupdate.8.gz So apt-get install dnsutils is what you need. Mind you, nslookup is deprecated and you probably should start using host or dig.
