aptitude search installation codes

Posted by auburn on July 24th, 2006 — Posted in aptitude

$aptitude search feh

yields:

i   feh                        - imlib2 based image viewer

where the first letter tells you whether the pkg is installed or otherwise (legend below)
If you want to know what’s installed on your system do:

$aptitude search ~i

or 

$aptitude search ~imysql

to find all the pkgs installed with “mysql” in the name.

i - the package is installed and all its dependencies are satisfied.
c - the package was removed, but its configuration files are still present.
p - the package and all its configuration files were removed, or the package was
never installed.
v - the package is virtual.
B - the package has broken dependencies.
u - the package has been unpacked but not configured.
C - half-configured: the package’s configuration was interrupted.
H - half-installed: the package’s installation was interrupted.
