apt-file is a command line tool for searching packages in Debian/Ubuntu repositories.
Unlike apt-cache search, apt-file can find files in uninstalled or can list the content of uninstalled packages.
First, we will install the apt-file package:
apt-get install apt-file
then we need to update database:
apt-file update
now we can query the database for myfile:
apt-file search FILENAME
