Debian has a package "apt-file" and as Ubuntu is based on Debian it 
may have that package too.

After installing it and "apt-file update"ing once you can 'apt-file search'
for all packages containing the specified file.

In case Ubuntu has broken down the packages differently you should be 
able to find it that way.
