dig and host

Please someone tell what packages contain "dig" and "host" utilities. In Debian they are in dnsutils and bind9-host. Neither package exists in Archlinux db nor groups.

Thank you very much.

Re: dig and host

Both are in dnsutils. Maybe your DB is broken? try pacman -Syy

You might want to use pkgfile (from community/pkgtools) to find something like that faster

Re: dig and host

You mean this seven year old topic is no longer relevant? What a surprise.
