It's in the status file, so, with the grep-dctrl package: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ grep-status -nsInstalled-Size -PX xfree86-common 708 ... for example. You could get something like 'dpkg -l' output using this (very quickly hacked-up) command: grep-status -nsInstalled-Size,Package -rFInstalled-Size . | \ perl -e 'while(<>) { chomp; print "$_\t" . <>; <>; }' | sort -n Cheers, -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
