I need to find and download the packages that needed files are in, especially libraries.
This is the resulting page URL from searching for a library:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searc ... &arch=i386
The wget command line:
Code: Select all
wget -P /mnt/sdb3/AppPkg/tools/0_dnld http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=libfusion-1.2.so&mode=filename&suite=lucid&arch=i386
The error:
Code: Select all
<h1 class="documentFirstHeading">Error</h1><!-- messages.tmpl --><div class="perror">
<p>keyword not valid or missing</p>
Ubuntu it seems is being tricky with their site access.
tecnosaurus gave me a repository search page, but it fails to find the file also.
I tried many combinations of the values in the search page`s URL, none worked.
### This is critical to building packages automatically. ###
I can`t think of another way to find the package containing a given file.
It would be great if Ubuntu had a download file listing "file to package".
Even with a "package to file" list I could write a script to make one.
Once the package is known, the mirrors can be easily navigated for download.
