    Apt (debian) cheat sheet

    So here's the same thing I did for RPM, but for the Debian apt stuff:

    
      apt-get
    
         -s        simulate
    
         install   install the named package
    
         (apt.conf defines commonly used options)
    
         
    
      apt-setup    sets up /etc/apt/sources.list
    
    
    
      dselect      select packages to install
    
      apt-get dselect-upgrade
    
                   actually install those packages
    
    
    
      dpkg-reconfigure
    
         --all     make sure all packages have been configured
    
    
    
      dpkg
    
         -s        get status of a package
    
         -L        list files from a package
    
         -S        who owns this file?
    
         -i        install this .deb file
