I just use the 'dselect' utility that came with my debian install. It shows
all
the packages that you have installed, and all the packages that your distro
knows about.
dselect isn't very intuitive but after you spend a little bit of time
reading some of its
help documentation it becomes a really efficient package manager.

Subject: [EUG-LUG:705] debian question
Is there an easy way to get a list of all installed packages from apt
the only thing i came up with was
bash$:locate *.deb
and that doesn't necessarily show what's currently installed :p
i looked at the man page for apt-get and apt-cache
and this doesn't seem to be there is it in dselect pehaps?
