Re: dpkg -l question



Quoting michael@etalon.net:

Hello,
I see that when I run
# dpkg -l

I get a nice listing of installed packages, but if I pipe
that command into less or more or even grep <whatever>,
then the listing gets scrunched up, and it cuts off the end of packages with longer names.
Is there a way to display it to show the long name? or
is there a better way to get a partial dpkg -l listing?

ah yes,

man dpkg showed
dpkg --get-selections

That should work nicely,
Cheers,
Mike
