I am trying to determine how to get a complete list of installed packages using 'dpkg -l'.
Here is my issue. If I use dpkg -l | grep cupsys I get this. Note that the package name is incomplete. I believe this is caused by the screen width getting set to 80 columns. ii cupsys 1.1.23-10sarge Common UNIX Printing System(tm) - server ii cupsys-driver- 4.2.7-10 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS ii cupsys-driver- 4.2.7-10 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS what I would like to do is get each line fully completed like it does when I use a specific package. Note that the package name is complete haddock:/var/lib/dpkg# dpkg -l cupsys-driver-gimpprint Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============================-===============================-======== ====================================================================== ii cupsys-driver-gimpprint 4.2.7-10 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS haddock:/var/lib/dpkg# dpkg -l cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============================-===============================-======== ====================================================================== ii cupsys-driver-gimpprint-data 4.2.7-10 Gimp-Print printer drivers for CUPS Thanks Tony
