i have used fedora most of my time, but i like to think i'm reasonably familiar with dpkg and apt. there's one thing that's tremendously useful in #fedora, but i have no idea how to do on #debian:

dnf install 'perl(YAML::Syck)' 'pkgconfig(poppler)' /usr/bin/minipro

perhaps i'm holding apt wrong and there's someone that can help me find a way

edit: what this does is drag in a package by a perl module it provides, a pkg-config name or a file it contains. super useful when a build script is missing a library, but you're unable to guess that "Prdel" library is actually "libprdel1-dev" in debian
