[PLUG] Oops, quickly over my head with Ubuntu package management
|
I have a command on my Ubuntu system called sha256sum. How do I find what
package that is in so that I can install it on another server? I need to access
it via PHP to create checksums. It works just fine on my workstation but does
not exist on the target system.
I tried to search in Google using this string:
ubuntu "install sha256sum" -fedora
There were 5 responses and they were were either in Japanese/Chinese or they
indicated that I could have Google translate it.
At that point, I'm thinking "Luke, you're in deep doo-doo(1)... very very deep."
Extra information:
My system:
cat /etc/*release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=8.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=intrepid
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 8.10"
The target system:
cat /etc/*release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.06
DISTRIB_CODENAME=dapper
DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 6.06.2 LTS"
TIA
Eric
