How can I know to which package a command belongs ?

[Kevin Wilson]

Hi,
Thanks Colin and Marius, both work.
I have another question if I may:
Is there a way to get information about some package (like  its website)?

I know from fedora that when running rpm -qid net-tools, for example,
there is a screen with a lot of information, including the URL of the
package website

Regards,
Kevin
