Re: How to list all files that are going to be installed when doing "apt-get upgrade"?

[Sonixxfx <sonixxfx@gmail.com>]

Basicly I just need to know how I can use the "aide -C" command as a parameter in diff.

When I try it I get "No such file or directory"and such.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks

Thanks Paul, this also works great.

I would like to know one last thing. The command I am using now:

for i in $(apt-show-versions -u|awk '{split($1,a,"/"); print a[1]}'); do dpkg -L $i;done

ouputs a list with all the files that are going to be installed on my system, but I would like to compare this ouput with the output from aide. Aide outputs also such a list, but it lists the already installed files on my system.

I have tried to solve this myself but without succes. I was thinking about appending something like:

| diff - "aide -C"

to the command.

This does not work.

So how can I compare the output from this command with the output from 'aide -C'?

Thanks.

Regards,

Ben

Replace the string "print $1" with the string

split($1,a,"/"); print a[1]

split separates the string from apt-show-versions at the slash, / , and
puts the parts into an array, a. print a[1] prints the first part.
