You're welcome. I assumed that you only wanted installed packages because I thought that "dpkg -l" was meant for installed packages... For all packages, run aptitude -F "%a%c %p %v %d" search parted (I have inverted the action and current states of my first post to use "dpkg -l"'s order) Or, just with dpkg dpkg -l "*parted*" Or with apt-cache (using Aaron's post) dpkg -l $(apt-cache search parted | awk '{print $2}' | tr '\n' ' ') So you could also run, to get the same output as with "dpkg -l" dpkg -l $(aptitude search -F "%p" parted | tr '\n' ' ') I am not sure that "tr ..." is needed but I don't have a Debian box at hand to check. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
