Hi,
Often I find myself executing the following:$ dpkg -l '*foo*'
to find all packages with foo in the name. When instead I look for only installed foo packages as follows:
$ dpkg -l '*foo*' | grep ii
the output is truncated, and if there's a foo package with a particularly long package name, I won't see the full name.
Is there an envrironment variable I could set to prevent this? Or some other workaround simpler than redirecting the first command to a temporary file (and then using grep on that)?
thank you so much in advance,
~c
