Hi,

please open a terminal, copy and paste the following, but replace
"foo" with the package name. Perhaps the package name is "details",
but the package name not necessarily is "details". Post the complete
output, command + output of the command.

  p="foo"
  apt-cache depends $p
  apt-cache show    $p | grep Filename
  dpkg -L           $p | grep desktop
  dpkg -L           $p | grep -v share
  dpkg -L           $p | grep script
  dpkg -L           $p | grep py

The Ubuntu Package Search doesn't finds a package named "details",
there are several paths including or ending with "details". Exact
not case-sensitive file names "details" are seemingly no programs.

Is it a binary or a script?

Regards,
Ralf
