A good tool to search which package contains a file is apt-file. So after

Code: Select all

apt-get install apt-file
and

Code: Select all

apt-file update
an

Code: Select all

apt-file search apt-add-repository
shows me that there is no package (at least in the repos I use, sid and experimental), that contains this file.

One can also use the Debian Package List to search within the package's contents.
