'apt-get' help
Hi everybody!
How do I know all the files that some package uses? And how do I know all the packages that some package uses as dependencies? With 'apt-get' command. |
Take a look at
http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/ap...tml#s-apt-file |
So 'apt-file list firefox' shows all th files of 'firefox' package? It shows
Code:
[name-of-the-package]: [file] |
if it shows
Code:
firefox-3.0-gnome-support: /usr/share/doc/firefox-3.0-gnome-support/changelog.Debian.gz |
http://linux.die.net/man/8/apt-cache
apt-cache depends firefox dpkg -L firefox ( to list all files ) or : http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i386/firefox/filelist ... And may be it's also easier to see all dependencies on the Ubuntu "package search site" : http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/firefox http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/ |
And how do I know all the packages that some package uses as dependencies?
With 'apt-get' command. Hi, I did not understand your question? But I know one command through that we can install dependency packages for required package suppose we have to install nautilus package and we don't have proper dependency for that.then we can use following commnad $ sudo apt-get build-dep nautilus From man page of apt-get --- build-dep causes apt-get to install/remove packages in an attempt to satisfy the build dependencies for a source package. |
