Can anyone tell me, how I can find out to which package a file belongs?
I know how to get a file list of a package if I know the package name, but not how to get the package name if I only have a file name.

Use whichpkg script
Also try
slapt-get --search file_name
or
grep file_name /var/log/packages/*

This unfortunately doesn't work.

That's the most simple and easiest way, I guess.

But I will try the script, too.

Thanks.
