Hello, list. I am interesting how to find the package that contains the
file that i want to have in my system.
Let's suppose that latex tells me: File upgreek.sty not found. To solve
this i need to install dev-texlive/texlive-latexextra. But, if i do not
know this, i have to search the appropriate package. On debian i can
easily do this by visiting official database
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages . On archlinux i can use "pkgfile
upgreek.sty" that searches through NOT INSTALLED packages.
I found site http://www.portagefilelist.de/ that does this job for
gentoo. But, as i suppose, it is third party project.
I cannot believe that such great project as gentoo does not have
OFFICIAL database, that allows to search package by the file name.
So, the question is: how to find the name of NOT installed package that
provides needed file?
