Hello,

I have used aptitude show $(package_name) to list the details of a given 
package. 

In the output of the vlan package for example one gets output like:

[snip]

Priority: extra
Section: misc

[/snip]

How might one determine all packages (installed or not) that fall under a 
particular "Priority" or "Section" ?

I was thinking something pseudo like aptitude show $(all packages) | grep 
(essential or required or important or standard or optional or extra)



 

-M
