This page is about the ways to list the installed packages in a Debian system and how to create a file with this list. This file can be uploaded to the web (i.e. from other computer with Internet connection) to download new packages.
List all packages installed:
dpkg --list
To check the status of all packages on your system:
- dpkg -l | more
This will show all packages (1 line each) that are in various stages of install (this includes packages that were removed but not purged). To show only the installed:
dpkg -l | grep '^i'
You can also use:
apt-cache pkgnames
You can if you are using Debian Linux use dpkg command to list installed software:
- dpkg --get-selections
And store the list installed software to a file called /backup/installed-software.log
$ dpkg --get-selections [">"] /backup/installed-software.log
You can also find package information in (you can use mc to browse these):
- /var/lib/apt/lists/*
- /var/lib/dpkg/available
