You are faster than me. On the other hand, time delay was in your favour.
:-)
Let me continue, for the record:
For debballs:
$ dpkg --info | grep ^Section
and so forth.
Oh! I didn't know about that option. Neat! I learned a new feature.
the reading of
/bin/lesspipe
was helpful.
But that doesn't work on debian.tar.gz files. That works on .deb
files. A different problem! :-)
$ dpkg --info emacs23-common-non-dfsg_23.4+1-1_all.deb | grep ^Section:
Section: non-free/editors
Or if it is already installed:
$ dpkg --status emacs23-common-non-dfsg | grep ^Section:
Section: non-free/editors
My goal is to get the component from files uploaded with `dput'.
Thanks,
Jerome

Debian package component belonging
Hello List, given a package name, how can we know to which Debian component (man, contrib, non-free) it belongs ?

Use apt-cache to show the package header and look to see what section it it in. $ apt-cache show emacs23-common-non-dfsg | grep Section Section: non-free/editors 2. Use apt-cache to show where a package comes from: $ apt-cache policy emacs23-common-non-dfsg emacs23-common-non-dfsg: Installed: 23.4+1-1 Candidate: 23.4+1-1 Version table: *** 23.4+1-1 0 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ sid/non-free amd64 Packages 500 http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/ testing/non-free amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3.

Scroll down to Search package directories, Select any, Enter the name in the form and hit Enter. http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages Ends up here: http://packages.debian.org/sid/emacs23-common-non-dfsg 4.

Jerome BENOIT wrote: Is there an easy way to get it from the .debian.tar.(gz|bz2|xz) ? Look at the debian/control file. Look for the Section: field. What does it say? The main/ is implied and so not included. But any section that is other than main will be stated there. If it doesn't say then it was expected to be in main. Continuing with my emacs doc example: $ grep Section emacs23-non-dfsg-23.4+1/debian/control Section: non-free/editors Section: non-free/editors And of course that will be in the .debian.tar.(gz|bz2|xz) file.
