Hello, I'm a Debian Squeeze new user and have some basic questions about Debian package tools.
Is it true I should avoid APT and use some other frontend or, better, dpkg directly? I tried aptitude, but I don't like ncurses-based tools. I prefer the classic command line if possible. How can I obtain the list of sources currently used by installed packages? For example, since I have "gcc" installed, it should show "main", and since I also have "firmware-iwlwifi", it should include "non-free", too. This is for checking if /etc/apt/sources.list is consistent with installed packages. I'm not sure if the following procedure is right for staying up to date: apt-get update; apt-get upgrade; apt-get autoremove --purge; apt-get autoclean Am I missing something else? Thank you. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
