I did the;
sudo apt-get install apt-file
which seemed to work just fine ... and then I did;
sudo apt-file update
at which point it seemed to "hang", cursor moves down a line and just sits
there flashing at me .. no text, no indication of progress ... nadda ... :O(
I'm assuming that after a successful search I would do something like;
sudo apt-file install workers.properties
to actually install the file or get a copy of it?
Cheers,
Jan
