Ubuntu :: Get The List Of Packages Manually Installed - Not Brought In As Dependency

Jul 29, 2011

Is there any way that I can get a list of packages (on the command line) that have been installed manually i.e. all those that haven't been installed as dependencies? I think this must be possible as apt seems to know which dependency packages are no longer required i.e. apt-get autoremove

Ubuntu :: Dpkg - List Manually Installed Packages?

Sep 17, 2010

I'd like to list all packages I installed since the installation. The tricky part is that I don't care for dependencies - only clean list of what I ordered to install. I went through man pages and I did not find anything relevant. Also /var/log/apt/history* doesn't say what I requested and what came as a dependency.

For gentoo-aware folks, I am looking for something like "world" file.

Ubuntu :: Mark Orphan Packages As Manually Installed?

Jan 15, 2010

The janitor wants to remove certain applications (svn, virtualbox) which I installed the easy way by going straight to the top and installing a GUI... I then realised the GUIs sucked, so I removed them. Now the computer janitor wants to remove virtuallbox, svn, and who knows what else all because of those stupid packages! how to mark certain packages as deliberatley installed so the computer janitor will take them and their dependencies off the list and let me clean things up?

Ubuntu Installation :: Remove Manually Installed Flag On Packages

Jan 5, 2010

After updating to Karmic, Synaptic shows almost all of my installed packages in the category "Installed (manual)", including about half of the packages that belong to a clean Ubuntu installation (e.g. apparmor, apt and hundreds of others). As a result, I can't easily get a list of those packages that I did indeed install manually and may want to remove. Is there a way of removing the "Installed (manual)" flag from all packages?

If I could do this, all packages that do not belong to the core Ubuntu system should show up as "Installed (auto removable)" and I could individually mark only those as manually installed that I really still need and let apt/synaptic uninstall everything else. I know that with today's hard disks, disk usage of installed packages is not an issue. But those packages accumulate over time and need to be updated with every security update and every ubuntu dist-upgrade, wasting time and bandwidth.

Ubuntu Installation :: Fresh Install Of Server / There Are 320 Packages Manually Installed

Jun 3, 2011

I want to some how get a list of the packages I installed. I was hoping that I could just list all of the packages that were not installed automatically as a dependency. It turns out that there are 320 packages that match that description (I think). Is there a way to do what I want to do? Shouldn't all of these dependencies have been installed as a handful of meta-packages instead?

Ubuntu :: Get A List Of Packages That I Installed Deliberately?

Feb 23, 2011

In MacPorts, the ports I would be looking for are the requested ports. They have a system so that when you install a port, that port is marked as requested. Also if you want to keep a port that was installed as a dependency, you can set it to be requested manually. Does the Debian system have the same functionality? It seems that there are some utilities that get that done..

Debian :: Search Installed Packages And List Available Docs

Jan 11, 2016

I have realized that in not installing suggested packages I've missed out on a ton of doc files, which would really come in handy while I'm away from internet access.

Is there a way take a list of currently installed packages and find out which of them have doc packages available? Possibly install them in a single step? I have been playing around with aptitude and apt-rdepends, but I'm not quite sure how to go about this. Somehow take a list of installed packages, run it through an apt-cache search, and end up with a list of -doc packages to install? My bash-fu isn't the greatest, and I suppose this could be a bad idea to begin with.

Debian :: Getting List Of Installed Packages From A Dead System?

May 31, 2010

I have a dead system that was running Debian Linux (lenny). I can boot into emergency mode, but nothing else. I will likely have to reinstall Debian. I've read lots of things online about how to get a list of currently installed packages. Which is fine and dandy if the system is working and I can log into it. I'm basically wanting to extract such a list from a hard drive containing an installation I can't log into normally. I can access the filesystem just fine, and nothing related to aptitude has been damaged.

Ubuntu :: Update Installed Packages List Or Force Removal Of Package?

Jul 21, 2011

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?

-OR-

3) Should I just nuke and re-install?

Ubuntu :: Installing OpenShot Manually - Dependency Error

Mar 29, 2011

I made a bit of a schoolboy error with Ubuntu. I was without an internet connection so attempted to install OpenShot manually, using .debs. Naturally there were too many dependencies to chase up but I did install some of them...! Now my connection is back i tried to install openshot (from the recommended ppa) as well as upgrading vlc (from the recommended ppa). Naturally OpenShot won't install as I have my dependencies all over the place. I was wondering if there was a way to track and uninstall/purge the last few manually installed packages, and if then installing openshot would proceed normally.

Here was the relevant output:
Code:
crow@nest-desktop:~$ sudo apt-get install openshot openshot-doc vlc vlc-plugin-pulse mozilla-plugin-vlc
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created

The following information may help to resolve the situation:
