Ubuntu Packages Search

Really useful if you are looking for an abstract library of file when it isn’t blatantly obvious which package it’s in.

I'm a fan of the "apt-cache search" command. include the info you do have regarding the library for which you are looking and you'll get a small list of packages. I've found that I can usually find what I'm looking for in the list pretty easily. All that and you don't even have to leave the command line.

You may also look at a tool called "aptitude." It's Synaptic for the command line and VERY capable.
