APT HOWTO
Kapitel 7 - Getting information about packages.


Es gibt einige Oberflächen für das APT-System, die es signifikant einfacher machen, Listen über verfügbare Pakete oder schon installierte Pakete zu bekommen oder auch herauszufinden, zu welcher Sektion ein Paket gehört, welche Priorität es hat, wie seine Beschreibung lautet, etc.

Unser Ziel aber hier ist, APT selbst benutzen zu lernen. Wie können wir also den Namen eines Paketes herausfinden, welches wir installieren wollen?

That's what this chapter intends to answer. Let's check out our options.


7.1 Paketnamen entdecken

Angenommen, Sie wollen die alten Zeiten des Atari 2600 wieder aufleben lassen. Sie möchten APT benutzen, um einen Atari-Emulator zu installieren und dann Spiele herunterladen. Sie haben folgende Möglichkeit:

     $ aptitude search atari
     p   atari-fdisk-cross               - Partition editor for Atari (running on no
     p   atari800                        - Atari emulator for X/curses/SDL
     p   console-keymaps-atari           - Keymaps for Atari keyboards.

We find several packages related to what we're looking for, together with brief descriptions. The p letter at the begining of the line is similar to the notation used inside the curses UI aptitude uses. It means, thus, that the package is not installed. Important to notice that aptitude only searches package names by default. You can use all the search options provided by aptitude, which you can discover by reading the aptitude's User Manual. To search the descriptions, for example, you could use:

     $ aptitude search ~datari 
     p   aranym                          - Atari Running on Any Machine
     p   atari-fdisk-cross               - Partition editor for Atari (running on no
     p   atari800                        - Atari emulator for X/curses/SDL
     p   circuslinux                     - The clowns are trying to pop balloons to
     p   circuslinux-data                - Data files for circuslinux
     p   console-keymaps-atari           - Keymaps for Atari keyboards.
     [...]
     p   stella                          - Atari 2600 Emulator for SDL & X windows
     [...]

Now, that returned many more packages, as we can see. Now that we found a list of possible solutions to our problem, let's go deeper into them:

     $ aptitude show stella
     Package: atari-fdisk-cross
     Version: 0.7.1-5
     Priority: extra
     Section: otherosfs
     Maintainer: Roman Hodek <roman@hodek.net$gt;
     Uncompressed Size: 106k
     Description: Partition editor for Atari (running on non-Atari)
      Atari-fdisk allows you to create and edit the partition table of a disk
      partitioned in Atari format. It supports both the AHDI 5.0 and ICD variations
      of the Atari format. It is an interactive tool with a menu similar to PC
      fdisk, and also supports most options of PC fdisk.

In this output you have many details about the package that you want (or don't want) to install, together with the full description of the package. You can also use the apt-cache program to get informations like those. If you choose this tool, it will be able to show multiple versions of a package that are available, for example:

     $ apt-cache show muine
     Package: muine
     Version: 0.5.0-1
     Priority: optional

       Depends: libsdl-mixer1.1
       Depends: libsdl1.1
       Depends: zlib1g

Zusammengefaßt haben wir eine handvoll Waffen, die wir benutzen können, um den Namen des Paketes herauszufinden, das wir installieren wollen.


7.2 Paketnamen mit dpkg finden

One of the ways to locate the name of a package is to know the name of an important file found within the package. For example, to find the package that provides a particular ".h" file you need for compilation you can run:

     # dpkg -S stdio.h
     libc6-dev: /usr/include/stdio.h
     libc6-dev: /usr/include/bits/stdio.h
     perl: /usr/lib/perl/5.6.0/CORE/nostdio.h

oder:

     # dpkg -S /usr/include/stdio.h
     libc6-dev: /usr/include/stdio.h

Notice that this method only works to find package names of packages that are installed in your system. You'll have to use auto-apt (see How to install packages "on demand", Abschnitt 8.1) or apt-file (see How to discover to which package a file belongs, Abschnitt 7.3) to search for files on packages which are not installed. You can also take a look at the http://packages.debian.org/ website. To list the names of packages installed on your system, which is useful, for example, if you plan to clean up your hard drive, you can run:

     $ dpkg -l | grep mozilla
     ii  mozilla-browse 0.9.6-7        Mozilla Web Browser

Das Problem mit diesem Befehl ist, daß er Paketnamen "brechen" kann. Im obigen Beispiel ist der ganze Name des Pakets mozilla-browser. Um das Problem zu beheben, können Sie die Umgebungsvariable COLUMNS folgendermaßen benutzen:

     [kov]@[couve] $ COLUMNS=132 dpkg -l | grep mozilla
     ii  mozilla-browser             0.9.6-7                     Mozilla Web Browser - core and browser

7.3 How to discover to which package a file belongs

Wenn ein Paket installiert werden soll und Sie nicht herausfinden können, wie es heißt, indem Sie mit apt-cache suchen, aber den Dateinamen des Programms oder einer Datei, die zu dem Paket gehört kennen, können Sie apt-file benutzen, um den Dateinamen zu finden. Das wird folgendermaßen gemacht:

     $ apt-file search Dateinamen

Es funktioniert genau wie dpkg -S, es zeigt Ihnen aber auch nicht installierte Pakete, die die Datei enthalten. Man kann es auch dazu benutzen, benötigte include-Dateien, die beim Kompilieren von Programmen fehlen, zu installieren, allerdings ist auto-apt eine wesentlich bessere Methode solche Fälle zu lösen, siehe How to install packages "on demand", Abschnitt 8.1.

You can also list the contents of a package, by running:

     $ apt-file list Paketname

apt-file hat genau wie auto-apt eine Datenbank über die Dateien aller Pakete und diese muß aktuell gehalten werden:

     # apt-file update

Normalerweise benutzt apt-file die gleiche Datenbank wie auto-apt, sehen Sie How to install packages "on demand", Abschnitt 8.1.


7.4 Informationen über Pakete

There are lots of web resources with informations about the packages available in the Debian distribution, most of them directed mainly towards Debian Developers, but many of them may be useful for users, too.

The Debian Packages Pages lets you search for packages that are available on the various architectures Debian supports and, also, search for the contents of all the Debian packages. There are information regarding dependencies and other relationships with packages. There are also links to download the source package and the binary package for all architectures. You can use a shortcut like http://packages.debian.org/packagename to have quick access links to a package.

The Package Tracking System provides information about what happened to the package recently, what are the TODO itens, from a Debian maintainers point of view, provides a summary of bugs reported and some more very useful information. One of the nice things about the Package Tracking System is that it lets you "subscribe" to a package to follow all the emails that the maintainer usually receives about the package. This way you can follow the development of packages that are crucial for your work or play. The http://packages.qa.debian.org/packagename shortcut works here, as well.

Finally, the Bug Tracking System provides information about known bugs in the packages distributed by Debian. This may be useful for you to find out why something does not work the way you expected and even find solutions or work-arounds through the bug logs. Also, read these pages and its documentation to be able to fill good bug reports for Debian. The http://bugs.debian.org/packagename shortcut also works here, as expected, but the BTS (Bug Tracking System) also accepts other very useful shortcuts like, for example, http://bugs.debian.org/src:packagename to show all bug reports on all binary packages provided by a given source package.
