Hi,

Thanks, now I have a better understanding of dpkg.

In the future, I'd like you recommend trying 'dpkg -L <package>' to list
the contents of the package... if you're only looking for the binary
just grep it to find bin files 'dpkg -L <package> | grep bin'... then
you can read the man pages for each binary that has one...

Conversely, -S does the opposite, so you could do 'dpkg
-S /usr/bin/convert' to find out that this came from ImageMagick...

Much faster than asking a mailing list for such simple answers...
