Is anyone familiar with a command-line method for listing currently
installed packages on a Debian system? I couldn't find anything in
the documentation, and i wound up doing:
bash$ for i in `dpkg -l * | awk '{print $2}'` ; do dpkg -s $i |
> grep -B 1 "ok installed" | grep "Package" | awk '{print $2}' ; done
Which is, you will note, just a little bit longer and more complex than
BSD's
bash$ pkg_info
