Greetings:apt-show-versions
Another RH to Debian convert question...
I'm used to rpm but clueless about apt, etc. I've mostly gotten the hang of dselect I think.
Can someone tell me the equivilant these commands, and/or what to run to get the desired result:
rpm -qa = show all packages installed?
But you need the apt-show-versions package, which can easily be installed with 'apt-get install apt-show-versions. It will give you something like this:
$ apt-show-versions |grep exim exim/testing uptodate 3.36-8
Of course, if you omit the grep, it will list all installed packages, the distribution (stable, testing, unstable) and the version.
Not sure on this one.rpm -q --whatprovides xxxx = tell me what package provided program xxxxx
Thanks very much for the education as I convert to debian!
