I found the webpage Ubuntu Tips and Tricks (http://www.linux-mag.com/id/3179/) which has some nice hints on how to find the package that provides a file or directory
How to find the package that provides a specific file: $ dpkg ?S /bin/ls coreutils: /bin/ls How to find the package even if it's not installed that provides a specific file: First you need to install apt-file $ sudo apt-file update Now you can look for the packe by $ apt-file search /usr/bin/jove jove: usr/bin/jove |
