Is it possible to identify the Debian package that a binary belongs to based on its md5sum.
All Debian packages contain a md5sums file that list all the files and their corresponding md5sum.
So, I am wondering, giveν an md5sum of a binary or any file, whether it is possible to get the package info that it belongs to.
Debian already provides an API to search for source packages based on sha256sum of any source file it contains.
In my case, if I have a binary, say libxml2.so.2.9.4, I want to know its origin package by simply searching for its md5sum.

Why not usedpkg -S libxml2.so.2.9.4? That will give you the package name,dpkg -L <packagename>will list all the files in that package.

Problem is, these binaries are not obtained from installed packages. I am reversing some firmware and I want to know their origin. All I know is the firemware that I am reversing is using Debian distro. So, I am trying to identify the packages installed in the firmware

Why not usedpkg -S libxml2.so.2.9.4? That will give you the package name,dpkg -L <packagename>will list all the files in that package.
