This was a big pet peeve of mine early in my linux usage as well (still is really). Especially since it is not exactly straight forward to figure out what binaries get installed when you install a package. Almost feels like there should be some namespacing like pkg_name->cmd_name so you can at least tab complete package binaries easily.
- EnigmaCurry 6y agoArch makes it pretty easy to recall: # Who owns binary? pacman -Qo /bin/ls # What files come with package? pacman -Ql coreutils | grep ......
- seiferteric 6y agoYes debian has the same types of things, but maybe spread across a few commands. I actually just prototyped what I am thinking here https://github.com/seiferteric/pkg_namespace https://github.com/seiferteric/pkg_namespace if anyone is interested.
- anoncake 6y agoIt's just `apt-file search /path/to/file` actually. I think there's a dpkg command that is limited to installed packages as well.
