  • @zevzek The slowness of dpkg -S is why I originally wrote dlocate for debian, way back in 1999. dlocate /usr/bin/top takes 0.16 seconds on my threadripper 1950x (with 2 x nvme zfs mirrored root pool). dpkg -S /usr/bin/top takes 1.4 seconds on the same machine. dlocate bin/top works too, because it does a regex match, not an exact filename match.
