if you have a file on your system and want to know where it came from dpkg -S usually helps. If the file is a generated file (created by a program or during package install) no part of the system can help you. If later on down the road you need to know what package to install for a particular file there is a package 'auto-apt' which has a very nice search capability. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
