whether the command-line tool "mysql" comes with mysql-server or mysql-client (I installed both at once, so I have no idea). It occurs to me that this is a good opportunity to learn more about linux package management.
I've tried saying "dpkg -L mysql-server", but it only lists the files in /usr/share/docs files for some reason. I'm sure there's got to be files elsewhere. Am I way off base?
How to properly integrate these RPMs into our system?
Option 1: we could take those missing OS RPMs and install them? Option 2: can we package the missing files from missing OS RPMs into the existing Linux-xxx.rpm?

Could Not Initialize Package Information
An unresolvable problem occured while initializing the package information.Please report this bug against the 'update-manager' package and include the following error message:
'E:Unable to parse package file /var/lib/dpkg/status (1), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'
I've also had issues with installing new programs (specifically tried Boxee (64bit ver) and Last.fm Scrobbler), but was thinking these issues might be related to the updage-manager error.

I just installed a package with yum but I can't find any files associated with it. My question: is there a way to make yum tell you which files were installed from a package?
I changed a few files in a couple of folders that are installed from a synaptic package. How can I save the changes as an installation package or save the changes to the package and save the package as a file?

I keep getting an error message when opening the Synaptic Package Manager. "E: dpkg was interrupted, you must manually run 'sudo dpkg --configure -a' to correct the problem.

I'm using a new Distro and after installing it and randomly searching for help on websites on how to install a .Deb file using dpkg at the konsole/terminal it says Bash : dpkg: Command not found . how is this possible ? Do I have to know about all the packages in the package manager to install this. slight difference for me ... knowing what I have and knowing if I need Apr93-323? (whatever) installed first or not ? The only thing I know is that I have the Iso image installed ... which is my linux distro . Where to go from here? because I usually go to a website site to find Software to install ...if I need it .back to the basics
I am following this guide to installing eclipse via terminal command-line on Linux. However, this seems to be happening lately with all the packages I try to install..I checked the Synaptic Package Manager and reloaded and rebooted the computer, but to no avail.

I was working on my flash drive install of Ubuntu, when I squashfsed my /usr. Long story short, I some how ended up with a working /usr, but with a few packages marked as installed, but not having its components installed (emacs). When I try to remove emacs (emacs23-nox), it gives me numerous errors about files (all relating to emacs) not existing (all in /usr). Thus my questions are as follows:
1) Is there a way to force the removal without it caring about missing packages?
-OR-
2) Is there a way to reload which packages are installed by checking which files exist, etc?
I just recently installed Ubuntu on my laptop and was attempting to install Wine on it this morning. I went through the proper procedure listed on the site, but once I get back to the Software Center and hit "install" it gives me an error a second later saying "Failed to Download Package Files. Check your Internet connection."
I am running 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04. I just installed KStars and am having a problem. There are no scopes listed in Telescope Wizard. Is it a missing package?
