  Thank you for the tips.  I will give it some thought.  ;)

  Yes, Ubuntu has this tool as well.   It keeps silence when asked for
the example:

$ apt-file update
Atingido:1 http://linux.teamviewer.com/deb stable InRelease
Ign:2 http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome/deb stable
InRelease Obter:3 http://cran-r.c3sl.ufpr.br/bin/linux/ubuntu
bionic-cran35/ InRelease [3.609 B]
=====8<-------- lots of messages ----------------
Atingido:38 http://ppa.launchpad.net/ys/emojione-picker/ubuntu xenial
InRelease Baixados 3.609 B em 9s (400
B/s) Lendo listas de pacotes... Pronto
Construindo árvore de dependências       
Lendo informação de estado... Pronto
All packages are up to date.
(although the messages are in portuguese, it wnt without errors)

$ sudo apt-file search examples/fortran/x00f.f90  

$

  So, no Fortran examples for Ubuntu.  :(


  Best regards.
