I want to list all the files from a source, say extras.ubuntu.com from the command line. What is the command for that?
dpkg --list
lists all files or just the filename.
Find the relevant file in /var/lib/apt/lists/
ending in Packages
, and perform this command:
# example for deb http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu natty-security multiverse
awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/security*multiverse*Packages
By the way, my extras.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_natty_main_binary-i386_Packages
is empty.
EDIT
You could also parse apt-cache
output. This script lists all packages with server and repo information:
#!/bin/bash
apt-cache policy $(dpkg -l | awk 'NR >= 6 { print $2 }') |
awk '/^[^ ]/ { split($1, a, ":"); pkg = a[1] }
nextline == 1 { nextline = 0; printf("%-40s %-50s %s\n", pkg, $2, $3) }
/\*\*\*/ { nextline = 1 }'
Sorting conveniently the output you can get the infos you're looking for.
