I'm missing the which command in my Arch Linux container.

In my host distribution (Ubuntu) it sits at /usr/bin/which, I've done a pacman -Ss which followed by pacman -S core/gnutls but it's still not available. How do I get it installed in my Arch container?

pacman -Qo /usr/bin/which only gives me error: No package owns /usr/bin/which

    Try pacman -Fs which. – ajgringo619 Aug 30 '19 at 03:18

    BAM!, That was it, I did a # pacman -Fy which followed by pacman -Fs which and then pacman -S core/which, cool! Thank you! You can move this to an answer and I'll accept! – stdcerr Aug 30 '19 at 03:25

pacman -Fy $filename is used to find the package which provides $filename.
