Find installed contrib and non-free packages
Hi, just a few days ago I've read at http://www.debian.org/security/faq.en.html#contrib that contrib and non-free packages are not supported by the Debian security team. Now I want to find out which contrib and non-free packages are installed on my servers. Is there any special command or script for this or do I have to write one? Looking forward to your ideas and Greetings from Vienna, Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Martin,
I think the following command resolves your problem:
for pkg in `dpkg -l | grep ii | awk '{print $2}'` ; do if [ `apt-cache
show $pkg | grep 'contrib\|non-free' | wc -l` -ne 0 ]; then echo $pkg;
fi; done

Hi, I use this method: 1. remove contrib and non-free from /etc/apt/sources.list 2. run dselect (update, select) and you will see all contrib and non-free packages as obsolete/local packages.

If contrib and non-free are still in your sources.list then $ aptitude search ~i(~scontrib|~snon-free) should list all installed packages from contrib and non-free.

Re: Find installed contrib and non-free packages
Thanks a lot guys, I like all of your suggestions (the virtual RMS made me laugh, never heard of this before). Seems like TIMTOWTDI, reminds me of PERL ;-) I will play around with all of them and find out which one I'll use in future.

You should grep for ^Filename: pool/\(contrib\|non-free\)/ to
prevent false positives. And: Packages that have been installed
from non-Debian apt sources or via dpkg --install are missed.

grep -v '^Filename: pool\/main\/' will get everything not in main,
which is the OP's intention, IIRC.

Just to be clear, this cmd shows me all pkgs not in main:
for pkg in `dpkg -l | grep ii | awk '{print $2}'` ; do if [ `apt-cache
show $pkg | grep '^Filename: pool/main/' | wc -l` -eq 0 ]; then echo

Maybe this snippet could help you as well.
awk '/^Package/ {
pkg=$2
}
/^Section.*(contrib|non-free)/ {
printf(%-20s - %-60s\n, $2, pkg)
}' /var/lib/dpkg/status | sort
