Hello Marc, |
24 |
|
25 |
Right you are, I was using the wrong command. |
26 |
|
27 |
If I recall, last night I wanted to find which package _provides_ a |
28 |
given file. Obviously the file in my sample, i.e. /etc/init.d/samba, |
29 |
is from net-fs/samba but the general question remains: How does one |
30 |
find the package from which a file came? |
31 |

Regards, |
