Description: Small toolbox-style utilities for Debian systems
These programs are designed to integrate with standard shell tools,
extending them to operate on the Debian packaging system.
.
dgrep - Search all files in specified packages for a regex
dglob - Generate a list of package names which match a pattern
.
These are also included, because they are useful and don't justify
their own packages:
.
debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database
dpigs - Show which installed packages occupy the most space
debman - Easily view man pages from a binary .deb without extracting
debmany - Select manpages of installed or uninstalled packages
checkrestart - Help to find and restart processes which are using old
versions of upgraded files (such as libraries)
popbugs - Display a customized release-critical bug list based on
packages you use (using popularity-contest data)

dglob - Generate a list of package names which match a pattern
[dctrl-tools, apt*, apt-file*, perl*]

[dctrl-tools, apt-file (both via dglob)]

check-enhancements
- find packages which enhance installed packages [apt,
dctrl-tools]
checkrestart
- Help to find and restart processes which are using old versions
of upgraded files (such as libraries) [python3, procps, lsof*]
debget - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database [apt]
debman - Easily view man pages from a binary .deb without extracting
[man, apt* (via debget)]
debmany - Select manpages of installed or uninstalled packages [man |
sensible-utils, whiptail | dialog | zenity, apt*, konqueror*,
libgnome2-bin*, xdg-utils*]
dhomepage - Open homepage of a package in a web browser [dctrl-tools,
sensible-utils*, www-browser* | x-www-browser*]
dman - Fetch manpages from online manpages.debian.org service [curl,
man, lsb-release*]
dpigs - Show which installed packages occupy the most space
[dctrl-tools]
find-dbgsym-packages
- Get list of dbgsym packages from core dump or PID [dctrl-tools,
elfutils, libfile-which-perl, libipc-system-simple-perl]
popbugs - Display a customized release-critical bug list based on
packages you use (using popularity-contest data) [python3,
popularity-contest]
which-pkg-broke
- find which package might have broken another [python3, apt]
which-pkg-broke-build
- find which package might have broken the build of another
[python3 (via which-pkg-broke), apt]
.
Package name in brackets denote (non-essential) dependencies of the
scripts. Packages names with an asterisk ("*") denote optional
dependencies, all other are hard dependencies.
.
Hard dependencies of single tools are listed in the Recommends field
of the package and optional dependencies of single tools in the
Suggests field -- as common with many "collection" style Debian
packages.
