Apt-Get Tipps

TuxArena put up a nice summary of some useful apt-get commands.

I have to correct them in one point: For dpkg -L to work, the package needs to be installed already.

I also have a few extra ones:

  • apt-cache search (search packages)
  • apt-cache show (show full package description)
  • apt-cache policy (show available package versions)
  • apt-cache depends (show package dependencies)
  • dpkg -P (remove package completely, that means also configuration etc.)
  • dpkg-reconfigure --priority=low (reconfigure package, show all options)
