E: Couldn't find package partprobe

Since I couldn't find partprobe on my system OR in the apt repository, I did a 
Google search for partprobe, and while I found several copies of the man 
page, I couldn't figure out why it isn't on my system or in the apt 
repository.

I'm running Debian/Etch; I think I forgot to mention that earlier.

May a hundred thousand midgets invade your home singing cheesy lounge-lizard
versions of songs from The Wizard of Oz.
