I'd like to check out the package "khexedit".  I see it on the Fink
web page, but I don't seem to have an info file for it.

Other methods if you're offline include

"fink dumpinfo -fparent  <packagename>" --returns the parent package
for a splitoff, and nothing for the parent package (or any other
package that has no splifoffs)

"fink dumpinfo -ffamily <packagename>? --returns all of the packages
in the .info file for <packagename>. The first one in this list is the
parent package, which should usually be what the .info file is named
for.

As you say -fparent implies that one knows already that the package in question is not directly available (until it has been compiled, that is). So what about "fink find <package>", which scans the families and the children? I'd code it up if someone gave me a pointer where I should add this code...
