Pour savoir quel paquet contient un fichier donné (là j’ai utilisé une syntaxe un peu particulière car sinon il me renvoyait des milliers de résultats, la syntaxe normale serait plutôt apt-file search pstricks) :
$ apt-file -x search 'pstricks$'
texlive-pstricks: /usr/share/lintian/overrides/texlive-pstricks
Et bien entendu en dernier recours l’inévitable encrypted.google.com/search?hl= … n+pstricks
(edit : comme Clochette l’a si bien fait remarquer
mais moi je préfère chercher d’abord dans le cache apt, chacun son truc)
Ensuite quand tu as identifié un nom de paquet intéressant, pour vérifier que c’est bien ce que tu veux il te suffit d’afficher sa description complète :
$ aptitude show texlive-pstricks
