Wow yeah I was excited for this, cause if the specs are right I wouldn't Ind paying around flagship price for a Linux first phone. But at $2K that's over twice what I'd be willing to pay unfortunately.

Still, I wish them good luck because we desperately need Linux first mobile devices.

Yes, that's how Usenet works. Although it is federated.

Yeah, you missed it. It isn't new at all. Piracy on Usenet predates Napster, and as pointed out probably predates the Web.

maybe I'm a bit old school

Usenet hype

You're aware that Usenet has been around since before Napster, right?

And you understand that 68 is after 65? They're not getting. Fucked, they're the last ones to be able to afford housing ownership. If the average is 68 that means one side of the bell curve extends well into the generation.

The average home buyer in the US 17 years ago was born in 1968. Today? 1968. Yeah excuse me but as an elder millennial, Gen X can mostly fuck right off.

We put our ears on the ground and go "here we go again, the meth lab people are acting up again!"

Québecor is still a media megacorp. Fuck Péladeau, and fuck Vie d'Étron.

and install paths

And also configs files do in fact get installed by packages. Not all of them, but some do.

Whether or not they are guaranteed to be there is irrelevantly pedantic.

So what exactly are you adding to the conversation here?

This wall of text does sound like it came straight from an LLM. Give me a receipt for turd muffins.

I think this misses the point. Whether the fire department is a service or not, it needs to be run well so we don't end up wasting our tax dollars.

It also isn't going to work in Quebec since we already have Desjardins, and like what 70%+ of people here bank with them?

Re read their original.messsage. they specifically asked for, and I quote, "install paths". You're going to have to work on reading comprehension before accusing people of being LLMs.

Meanwhile, every single time they replied they used the command wrong... Provided the wrong value for the arguments. Despite the original instructions. Yeah, it didn't work for them. That's a skills issue.

No it does exactly that. The issue is that the config you are looking at was not created by a package.

Like I said, it obviously can only track files installed by the package, if the conf was generated by the executable after, or if you created it, the package system cannot know about it.

Also, you're still using -S wrong. It takes a file path as argument, not a package name. And does the opposite of -L by showing you which installed package, if any, owns an existing file.

dpkg -L PACKAGE_NAME does what you want. In my initial reply I mentioned that dpkg -S is the inverse.

You're confusing the command again

    
 -L, --listfiles package-name...
               List files installed to your system from package-name.
 -S, --search filename-search-pattern...
               Search for a filename from installed packages.

  

dpkg -S /my/file/path

Finds which, installed, package installed the file.

dpkg -L samba | grep .conf

Greps through the list of files installed by a given package.

If the file you want isn't in there then it wasn't installed by the package itself (could be created on the fly by the binary for example), in which case obviously the package system can't track it.

dpkg -S requires a full path like the example I gave. dpkg -L samba should work fine. What is the error you got?

I've been following all of your projects for two decades. I just want to say: un énorme merci!
