apt-get package manager capability
Hi List,
Recently I was doing some toubleshooting installing a package on a Redhat 6 machine using the the installer script which came with that package and I got an error message telling me that a file was missing indicating that I had to google for the dependancies and install them before this application could complete its installation script.
A solution I found was that instead of googling for the package which contained the missing file and then installing that package using yum, I simply used yum to install the missing file, and it aautomatically looked up the package which contained that file and installed it with a line like the following:
yum install /usr/lib/foo.bar.so.6
My question which relates to debian, is there any way of issuing a command line as simple as this which automatically finds and installs the correct missing package for the file using apt-get or something?
thanks,
steve
