Alternately aptitude search If the first column is 'i', it means the package is installed.

[Ilugc] need help : how to find whether the particular packages installed or not via terminal command
Hi friends, i have one doubt. how can we find , whether one package is installed in our system or not via terminal. in synaptic , we can see the color difference between installed packages and non-installed packages. like wise , how can we find the difference b/w installed and non-installed package using command ? In terminal , [for eg] $ apt-cache search tuxpaint It will give the package details about tuxpaint $ apt-get install tuxpaint It will give result , if installed , -> the package tuxpaint is already installed and newest version. if not installed -> the package size is 29MB. ... bla bla bla bbblllabba . ... Need to get 28.9MB of archives. After this operation, 49.6MB of additional disk space will be used. Do you want to continue [Y/n]? so my question is , the alternate command to find out the particular package is installed or not , via terminal . i searched in net , but cant get clearly . any one can suggest me . thanks in advance ! -- -- நன்றி , அருளாளன் . த Kanchi Linux User Group Rocks ! http://kanchilug.wordpress.com My Experiments In Linux are here http://tuxworld.wordpress.com தக்கன தழைக்கும் ! ___ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
