yum对应ubuntu,Ubuntu等同于Yum的WhatProvides，以查找哪个包提供了文件

Fedora's yum package management tool has a nice option called whatprovides, which lets you find what package has installed a specific binary or file. What is the equivalent command on Ubuntu?

For example, say I'd like to find what package provided /usr/bin/mysqladmin. I know it should be something like mysql-server*. I've read that apt-cache search blah is a similar command, but running apt-cache search /usr/bin/mysqladmin returns nothing. Is there a better command?

解决方案

I believe apt-file will give you what you want.

$ apt-file update

$ apt-file list mysqladmin

kmysqladmin: /usr/bin/kmysqladmin

$ apt-file search mysqladmin

autoconf-archive: /usr/share/aclocal/ac_prog_mysqladmin.m4

autoconf-archive: /usr/share/autoconf-archive/html/ac_prog_mysqladmin.html

bash-completion: /etc/bash_completion.d/mysqladmin

kmysqladmin: /usr/bin/kmysqladmin

$ apt-file search mysqladmin
