Guys,
I have made friends with pacman in most areas, but one are I still don't know is " How to I find the uninstalled package that will provide xxx?"
pacman -Ss must just search package names and not the contents. I need to find html2ps for hylafax. Can pacman do this, or do I search abs/aur for this type of request?
pkgfile from pkgtools does this.
Thank you Daenyth!
I'll check it out. Before I got your message, I was able to find it in AUR with a search. If pkgfile is a cli tool, it's just what I'm looking for.
