How to know which package installs a given command? [duplicate]

  • 772

I see that llvm-objdump-9 instead of llvm-objdump are installed. What is the command to figure out which package installs it? How to remove the suffix -9? Thanks.

EDIT: Please reopen the post. The second question is not answered.

To get llvm-objdump in my $PATH, do I need to add /usr/lib/llvm-9/bin in my $PATH?

$ dpkg -S llvm-objdump
llvm-9: /usr/share/man/man1/llvm-objdump-9.1.gz
llvm-9: /usr/lib/llvm-9/bin/llvm-objdump
llvm-9: /usr/bin/llvm-objdump-9
apt

  1. If you're looking for a file:

    $ sudo apt install apt-file
$ sudo apt-file update
$ apt-file search llvm-objdump

    That searches the contents of the package archive, so works for all packages whether they are installed or not.

    If you know the package is already installed:

    $ dpkg -S  llvm-objdump
