Description

Find which official repository package contains a file, even when that package is not installed yet. This helps users and administrators discover missing dependencies, commands, libraries, icons, or configuration examples by file path.

It is used from the terminal and works with a local file database that must be updated periodically. Results are only as current as that database, so refresh it before relying on the answer for troubleshooting.
