What is the snap equivalent to issuing
apt-file search X11/extensions/XKBrules.h # header file some repo uses who's compile fails as it cannot find this file
# ... above returns with
libxkbfile-dev: /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBrules.h
above lets me identify which Ubuntu package libxkbfile-dev contains file /usr/include/X11/extensions/XKBrules.h
beauty of above is it searches ALL packages not just those already installed
How to identify which snap package contains a given filename ? ( even when I am yet to install that snap package )
On a new machine in order for above apt-file to work machine must have following run to install the latest index of all Ubuntu packages
sudo apt install apt-file -y && sudo apt-file update
I am looking for the functional equivalent to this for snap packages
... Why ? a common use case is : if I am compiling someone else's code and a header file is missing so I need to know what package to install to get that missing header ( assuming that missing file actually lives in a package which it often does for Ubuntu packages and will increasingly do as projects migrate over to snap )
