How to find which package a binary exists in

[02:11:39] <metaperl> what <a href="http://www.debian.org/" class="ext">Debian</a> package has <a href="http://www.gnome.org/" class="ext">gnome</a>-config in it? [02:12:11] <SWAT_work> JJK, why don&#8217;t use IP&#8217;s? :D [02:12:11] <blahdebla1> metaperl: dpkg -S `which gnome-config` [02:12:32] <blahdebla1> metaperl: For me this gives libgnome-dev: [02:12:42] <Gnea> libgnome-dev [02:12:44] <JJK> SWAT_work, DHCP. It could be that an IP is changing. And then it can give some problems [02:12:45] <metaperl> blahdebla1: thanks [02:12:48] <deadline> can somebody tell me how to build this package: <a href="http://www.kernel.org/" class="ext">linux</a>-kernel-di-i386-2.6_1.18.tar.gz ? [02:13:00] <kevix> erigf: if the mobo is old, maybe the backup battery is dead? [02:13:13] <blahdebla1> metaperl: apt-cache search gnome-config is another good one to use when the package isn&#8217;t already installed on your machine
