How could I find out, which packet contains the program I need? Ex.: I have "ss" program on my console, and I want to install it on a computer with Debian Linux, but I don\t know which packet to apt-get.

Re: How could I find out, which packet contains the program I need?
oh package.
the package you want is iproute (sudo apt-get install iproute)
There are several ways to find out, run kpackage and use 'find file' for the file you want. This may take a long time, so you can use the online search at http://packages.ubuntu.com/
the way I did it was type 'man ss' and it told me to install the package iproute-docs for more info. -
Re: How could I find out, which packet contains the program I need?
from the package description.apt-file is a command line tool for searching packages for the APT
packaging system.
Unlike apt-cache, you can search in which package a file is included
or list the contents of a package without installing or fetching it.
How did I find it? I started Synaptic (it probably works in Adept, as well) and searched for all packages with the word "apt" in their name.Comment
