[SOLVED] How can I find information about files inside /usr/bin/

860lacov · 2022-08-27 22:35:45

In /usr/bin/
I have cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq
I would like to find out for which package it belongs.

I thought that it was installed with auto-cpufreq from AUR, but I don't have this package currently installed.

See Pacman#Querying_package_databases.

Thank you.
I tried to find out this with pacman -F and pacman -Qs and -Qi and nothing

Anything somehow related to this file is when I do:
pacman -F /usr/bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq -v

Root      : /
Conf File : /etc/pacman.conf

Further down than Qs and Qi examples:

To query the database to know which package a file in the file system belongs to:
$ pacman -Qo /path/to/file_name

If you have files in /usr/bin not owned by any package then see Tips_and_tricks#Identify_files_not_owned_by_any_package.

pacman's -F flag will not properly account for files from aur packages, but -Qo will so long as those packages are installed:

pacman -Qo /bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq

That will either report which package owns said file, or it will confirm that it is not owned, in which case you may want to remove it.

Qo gave me:

pacman -Qo /bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq 
error: No package owns /bin/cpufreqctl.auto-cpufreq

So I will remove it.
But why it is there in the first place?

I had auto-cpufreq installed from AUR. But I removed it with pacman -Rsn.

Possibly self installed by auto-cpufreq https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/auto-cpu … re.py#L307
The git version of the package removes that file on package removal https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … eq-git#n29 while the none git version removes a different file https://aur.archlinux.org/cgit/aur.git/ … to-cpufreq
