Software :: (Ubuntu 10.04) How To Find Source Of Installed Apt Package
Jan 18, 2011
How do I find which "software source" provided a package that I installed? Some weeks ago, I installed linux-realtime. A collaborator is trying to mirror my setup and looked for that package, but it isn't in the default software sources. So, I need to tell him where I got it.
Kubuntu ships by default with a crippled K3b that won't rip DVDs to video files. Therefore I followed the instructions here to install it from source against libdvdread-dev. Now KPackageKit is continuously bugging me about 5 updates: k3b, k3b-dbg, libk3b-dev, libk3b6, and libk3b6-extracodecs. If I let those be "updated," I just get the binary versions of the same versions, without DVD ripping capabilities. Is there a way to get DVD ripping in k3b without APT continuously wanting to "update," it away?
I know there's a which command, that echoes the full name of a binary (e.g. which sh). However, I'm fairly sure there's a command that echoes the package that provides a particular binary. Is there such a command? If so, what is it? I'd like to be able to run this:
Getting the error: Code: Select allThe required package keybinder was not found on your system. *** Please install keybinder (atleast version 0.2.2) or adjust *** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you *** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that *** pkg-config is able to find it.
I have installed everything available in the jessie repo with "keybinder" in the name. It seems like my path variable is configured correctly:
Fedora 14 xfceI have installed a package using yum install package-name.However, I can't seen to find out where it has been installed to.Is there any command that will tell me what directory the files have been installed to?
I need a particular include file. I know the file name. I don't know which package would install it. apt-cache seems to only search names and descriptions. dpkg -S seems to only search through installed packages. I need to find a package that's not yet installed. I probably just missed the option in the man page... or I don't know which program to man.
I am trying to think of the best way to find packages that have been installed by NOT using a package manager.
To find installed packages one would search rpm or pkg DB, but what if the software was installed by a tarball or bin or even compiled.
Anyone got any suggestions on how to script for these, I was hoping to write a script to find all the third party stuff, I know there will be a lot of stuff that gets picked up so what is the best way to get minimize false positives?
Are there any quick and easy ways to find all of the dependencies required for a package to be installed, so that we dont have to spent a lot of time searching for each package or downloading them individually?
Well the topic name says it all. I only installed the base system and when I try "apt-get install gnome" it tells me it can't find package "gnome".Now, I'm actually to much of a noob to try to build my own Debian from the base system and up. But it still seems to be the easiest option.When I try "Debian GNU/Linux on CDs" I can't get online. I start Iceweasl but it just gives me that message telling me that it can't find the website I tried to enter (e.g www.google.com).When I try the net install I get "Bad Archive Mirror" at the configure apt part. I've tried searching your forums for this and it seems to happen to a lot of people but I still can't find a solution in any of those threads
i have to use lh command. I have installed all updates for ubuntu, live-build (the package for lh) and its updates. So my system is fully updated.When i hit "lh" command i get the following message: The program 'lh' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install live-build
When i do type: "sudo apt-get install live-build" i get:
Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done live-build is already the newest version. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.
Is there a guide on creating a package from PHP scripts or something? Example: if I've developed a system and I want to make it to a deb file to deploy to my friends and such. I've tried looking for one but I have not been lucky so far.
I am trying to put up my own Quake2 server to play with my friends. During this installation process I have encountered rather confusing issue. First I downloaded the Q2 server binaries in RPM package and tried installing it:
I am trying to install an iso reader but no matter which package I choose they all return this error:The action would require the installation of packages from unauthenticated sources.These are all packages in the Ubuntu Software centre .
I'm running Karmic Desktop Live CD from a USB stick, and trying to install Ubuntu to a hard disk using debootstrap I get these errors:
$ sudo debootstrap karmic /dir file:///cdrom/

[Code].....
I've read this bug report: [URL] basically, the discussion states that Desktop CD can not be used as package source for debootstrapping, I understand it is because of different file structure than the required for a repository, but would like to know more specific information about it, and if possible, how could I use the CD as package source for debootstrap?
First of all, I am pretty new to linux and I have 2 install a USB OVer IP software. I downloaded the software for UBUNTU n I really do not know where to find the installer. I want to find the source code in the package too.. its an open source project. So I believe the source codes are included in that .
I'm seeking for a site to manually download the source of the kernel 2.6.31-14-generic for Ubuntu 9.10. I did search through the addresses listed in my /etc/apt/sources.list file but that was of no help. So could somebody please give me a precise address to download from?
I have just installed ..src.rpm package. How do I uninstall it ? It's confusing to me because src and binary package share the same name ? (at least "rpm -qa" doesn't show any new src packages)
Makefile.in a file that is generated by tool, why it is in the source package? I am asking since , when I modified Makefile.am, I need to run automake to update the makefile.in, while I don't think this should be done manually.
I tried installing the latest Mupen64Plus from source, and something went wrong, and now I get errors when trying to run it. How do I remove the link that was created from the source install?
I want to compile geki2 from source. I tried apt-get source geki2but I getReading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done E: Unable to find a source package for geki2I assume that /etc/apt/sources.list needs some additional entry. I run lenny.
Apart from that could someone explain to me what is the importance of files *.dsc , *.tar.gz and *.diff.gz in every package ? I assume *.tar.gz is the source. Is this independent from Debian ? I assume also that *.diff.gz is some patch you have to apply after you expand *.tar.gz in order to get a Debian specific version but how do you apply the patch ?
I was a die hard Ubuntu user for the last 2 years and decided to use something more advanced or different. My question (after searching the crap out of Google) is how can I view the source code of Fedora? I have found many sites explaining this but it is not written in terms that are easy for me to understand. I haven't been programming for years and using advanced features in Linux so most of these sites are not explaining out and most are explaining how to build and add on to the kernel.
why status of fedora-source is 0, dose this means there's no available packages in this repo? kernel-headers and kernel-devel have been installed, how can i install the kernel-source package?
