Re: Finding the files in a package

Please notice that apt-file is not installed by default on a clean Debian
system.

dpkg -S foo_file will give you the necessary package name without
installing further software.

  Dear List,
 
  I would like to know which version of the package openmpi contains
 the
  library libmpi_cxx.so.1.
 
  On the Debian website, the information about individual packages
  includes a link to a file list for each available architecture.
 
  How would I go about finding this information for SL?
 
  Cheers,

 Thanks Francesco (small world ;-)) and Bluejay,

 It seems that provides and whatprovides are synonyms.

 BTW, instead of messing about on the website, on Debian

 apt-file search libmpi_cxx.so

 is possible.

 Cheers,

 Loris

 Yes, but only for installed packages, whereas apt-file will search in
 all packages in the configured sources.
