Neat dpkg tricks to know:
dpkg -l # What you're asking for
dpkg -L packagename # List files owned by an installed package
dpkg --contents package.deb # List files in a given deb
dpkg -S file/dir # Find out what that mysterious file belongs to...
dpkg -C # Verify all packages. Good for discovering
what to fix if you have packages with
inst/rm scripts that misbehave, or if dpkg
gets interrupted
And those are just the ones that directly correspond to the rpm options
that Callum wrote :)
Here's some more:
dpkg --configure --pending # Configure all unconfigured packages (to fix
if dpkg gets interrupted)
dpkg -p packagename # Show the description of a package
dpkg -s packagename # Show the install status of a package
dpkg --info package.deb # Show the description of a package file
And I won't even start on APT. :)
