5 Cups of Ubuntu
Great time saver
Except one problem for me:
On "dselect" I got "command not found". That was on a fresh Kubuntu Gutsy install.
What worked, however, was to load the file into Synaptic.
Gee! These Aren't Roasted!
Just curious, what does the above code do?Originally Posted by benow

That's exactly the thing I've been looking for. Thank you very much!

Short answer:Code:cat toremove | xargs --replace=+ sudo apt-get -y remove +
It removes all packages listed in 'toremove'.
Long answer:Code:man cat man xargs man apt-get
'toremove' is a file with all the packages you wish to remove listed, one package per line. 'cat' lists them all and the pipe '|' pumps the list into 'xargs'. 'xargs' runs 'sudo apt-get -y remove +' where '+' is replaced with the name of a package. 'xargs' runs it once for each package. Cool, eh?

Any idea how to list installed packages from the official ubuntu repository not any other repository, source install or manually downloaded deb package.
Your freedom is worth more than you think. Take advantage of it while you can.

I am not aware of any apt-* or dpkg command that will definitely indicate the repository from which a package came.
I did notice, however, a certain pattern which seems to suggest when a package comes from some source other than an official repo:
The packages from the official repos seem to report17:18:56 cyrano@farmer:~% apt-cache policy acroread
acroread:
Installed: 8.1.2-0medibuntu1
Candidate: 8.1.2-0medibuntu1
Version table:
*** 8.1.2-0medibuntu1 0
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
17:19:07 cyrano@farmer:~% apt-cache policy gnome-panel
gnome-panel:
Installed: 1:2.20.1-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 1:2.20.1-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 1:2.20.1-0ubuntu1 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com gutsy-updates/main Packages
100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
1:2.20.0.1-0ubuntu6 0
500 http://archive.ubuntu.com gutsy/main Packages
http://archive.ubuntu.com while all other packages seem to report /var/lib/dpkg/status.
Based on this pattern, I wrote this perl script which lists packages which are installed on the system grouped according to the repo:
Code:#!/usr/bin/perl use strict; use warnings; my @pkg; open(PACKAGES,"COLUMNS=500 dpkg -l |") || die; while (<PACKAGES>) { if (m/^ii/) { my ($pkg)=($_=~m/^ii\s+(\S+)\s+/); push(@pkg,$pkg) } } close(PACKAGES); my %dat; foreach my $pkg (@pkg) { open(APT,"apt-cache policy $pkg |") || die; my $in_version_section=0; while (my $line=<APT>) { if ($line=~m/^\s*Installed: (.*)/) { ($dat{$pkg}->{version})=($line=~m/^\s*Installed: (.*)/); } elsif ((!$in_version_section)&&(defined($dat{$pkg}->{version})) && ($line=~m/^\s+\S{3}\s+\S+/)) { my ($a_version)=($line=~m/^\s+\S{3}\s+(\S+)/); if ($a_version eq $dat{$pkg}->{version}) { $in_version_section=1; next; } } elsif (($in_version_section) && ($line=~m/^\s+\d+\s+\S+/)) { ($dat{$pkg}->{repo})=($line=~m/^\s+\d+\s+(\S+)/); last; } } close(APT); } my %repo; foreach my $pkg (keys %dat) { my $version=$dat{$pkg}->{version}; my $repo=$dat{$pkg}->{repo}; push(@{$repo{$repo}},"$pkg version $version"); } foreach my $repo (keys %repo) { print "$repo:\n"; foreach (@{$repo{$repo}}) { print " $_\n"; } }

I wanted a list of packages with their descriptions, so I used:
dpkg -l | grep '^[D|+i]' >> installed_dpkg_l.txt

Here is a complete list from a fresh minimal Hardy server i386 install:

Appreciate that this is four weeks after your post, but since no-one else has yet made a suggestion, how about temporarily editing your sources.list file to only the official repositories (or whatever you're interested in) and then running:??Code:aptitude search . | grep ^i
Think that should do it...?
