I have a corrupt file and wish to find which package it belongs to.

In rpm I would do: rpm -qf <file name with full path>

What is the equivalent in dpkg etc?

dpkg -S {/path/to/file}

In Debian all packages have all files listed in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ file names is whatever_package.list. The command "grep file_name *.list" within the above directory will bring up the file and the name of the package. Lindsay
