How to find the parent package of a file on Ubuntu

Advertisements

We can find the parent package of a file using following command in debian or ubuntu. 

root@host ~ # dpkg -S /usr/sbin/mysqld
percona-server-server-5.5: /usr/sbin/mysqld
root@host ~ #

For the same purpose you can use following command in centos, redbat or fedora 


root@cpaneltest [~]# rpm -qf /usr/sbin/mysqld
MySQL-server-5.0.92-0.glibc23
root@cpaneltest [~]#
