Is there a way to find out the provenance of particular apt rpms listed in Synaptic, ie which repository they are located in, the web address to reach them outside apt, and so on? -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

You may try apt-file or the method described at http://linux01.gwdg.de/apt4rpm/home.html#contents The web url begins always at: http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/suse/apt/ -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless

Thanks, Richard. That helps. On the webpage, I would actually suggest deleting the ^, since with it you must use the precise name of the rpm, eg Firefox or firefox will return a blank - you need to use MozillaFirefox. -- Pob hwyl / Best wishes Kevin Donnelly www.kyfieithu.co.uk - Meddalwedd Rhydd yn Gymraeg www.cymrux.org.uk - Linux Cymraeg ar un CD!

Change to: e.g: zgrep -i firefox contlist.bz2 or if you happen to know the exact package name, use: zgrep -i "^MozillaFirefox;" contlist.bz2. -- Richard Bos Without a home the journey is endless
