> Hello,
>
> I would find really useful if Guix was providing a tool similar to what
> ‘dnf whatprovides’ or ‘apt-file’ does.  I mean something to check what
> packages provides a particular file (executable/manual/library).
>
> My main use-case is when running a ‘configure’ script which checks an
> arbitrary program, I would like ‘guix whereis’ to help me find out what
> package I need to install to satisfy its configuration requirement.
