1 This file maps each file available in the Debian GNU/Linux system to
2 the package from which it originates. It includes packages from the
3 DIST distribution for the ARCH architecture.
5 You can use this list to determine which package contains a specific
6 file, or whether or not a specific file is available. The list is
7 updated weekly, each architecture on a different day.
9 When a file is contained in more than one package, all packages are
10 listed. When a directory is contained in more than one package, only
13 As all Contents files are shipped compressed, the best way to search quickly
14 for a file is with the Unix `zgrep' utility, as in:
15 `zgrep <regular expression> CONTENTS.gz':
17 $ zgrep nose Contents.gz
18 etc/nosendfile net/sendfile
19 usr/X11R6/bin/noseguy x11/xscreensaver
20 usr/X11R6/man/man1/noseguy.1x.gz x11/xscreensaver
21 usr/doc/examples/ucbmpeg/mpeg_encode/nosearch.param graphics/ucbmpeg
22 usr/lib/cfengine/bin/noseyparker admin/cfengine
24 This list contains files in all packages, even though not all of the
25 packages are installed on an actual system at once. If you want to
26 find out which packages on an installed Debian system provide a
27 particular file, you can use `dpkg --search <filename>':
29 $ dpkg --search /usr/bin/dselect
30 dpkg: /usr/bin/dselect
