 1. Figure out what package the software is from. Usually it's named
 approximately the same as the software itself, e.g., `barnowl` or `gdb`
 or `libwww-mechanize-ruby`. You can use the command `dpkg -S` to figure
 out where a file comes from, or search on
-[packages.debian.org](http://packages.debian.org/) or
-[packages.ubuntu.com](http://packages.ubuntu.com/).
