apt-file
search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface)
apt-file is a command line tool for searching files contained in packages
for the APT packaging system. You can search in which package a file is
included or list the contents of a package without installing or fetching it.
If you would prefer not to download the large files used by apt-file you can
run rapt-file, which calls a remote server to do the searches.

Changelog:
apt-file (2.5.0) unstable; urgency=low
[ Paul Wise ]
* rapt-file: Drop python-apt wrapper shell script, detect the lack of a
python apt module in the rapt-file python code (Closes: #619414).
* mention rapt-file in the package description (Closes: #623632)
[ Thijs Kinkhorst ]
* apt-file: Include compontent in Contents file search paths so we

compatibility with older suites that do not have this configuration
(Closes: #624734).
* rapt-file: Ignore files not ending in .list in sources.list.d
(Closes: #607861).
* rapt-file: Recommend dpkg-dev because we use dpkg-architecture
(Closes: #613006).
* Correct scp invocation in apt-file.conf (Closes: #624290).
* Small packaging cleanups.
