NAME
rapt-file - APT package searching utility -- search remotely SYNOPSIS
rapt-file [ options ] [ action ] [ pattern ] DESCRIPTION
rapt-file is a command line tool for searching files in packages for the APT package management system. It differs from apt-file in that it works with remote package indices, so it doesn't need to download full Contents files. find Alias for search. list List the contents of a package matching the pattern pattern. This action is very close to the dpkg -L command except the package does not need to be installed or fetched. search Search in which package a file is included. A list of all packages containing the pattern pattern is returned. rapt-file will only search for filenames, not directory names. This is due to the format of the Contents files it searches. show Alias for list. OPTIONS
-a, --architecture architecture Sets architecture to architecture. This option is useful if you search a package for a different architecture from the one installed on your system. It determines how the $ARCH variable in sources.list is expanded (but it does not influence the search in any other way). -l, --package-only Only display package name; do not display file names. -v, --verbose Run rapt-file in verbose mode. -h, --help Display a short help screen. FILES
/etc/apt/sources.list Locations to fetch package contents from. /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ Directory with additional sources.list snippets AUTHOR

NAME
apt-show-source - Lists source-packages. DESCRIPTION
This program parses the APT lists for source packages and the dpkg status file and then lists every package with a higher version number than the one installed. It may prove very useful if the "deb" entries in your APT sources.list point to stable and the "deb-src" entries point to unstable. With this program you are easily able to find out if there is a newer version of eg. Program XXXX in unstable. COMMAND LINE PARAMETERS
Optional command line parameters are the DPKG Status file to use, the path to APT's list files and a package name. There are also options to display: all source-packages, verbose messages, version-only and command-line help. OPTIONS
-stf FILE, --status-file=FILE Reads installed packages from FILE instead of /var/lib/dpkg/status. -ld DIRECTORY, --list-dir=DIRECTORY DIRECTORY specifies the path to APT's list files, defaults to /var/lib/apt/lists/. -p PACKAGE, --package=PACKAGE Prints out the installed-package/source-package version Information for PACKAGE. --version-only Prints version only if used together with --package. -a, --all Prints out all available source-packages with version. -v, --verbose Prints out verbose messages. -h, --help Prints out command-line help.
