менеджер пакетов для Debian (package manager for Debian)
Описание (Description)
dpkg is a tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian
packages. The primary and more user-friendly front-end for dpkg
is aptitude(1). dpkg itself is controlled entirely via command
line parameters, which consist of exactly one action and zero or
more options. The action-parameter tells dpkg what to do and
options control the behavior of the action in some way.
dpkg can also be used as a front-end to dpkg-deb(1) and
dpkg-query(1). The list of supported actions can be found later
on in the ACTIONS section. If any such action is encountered dpkg
just runs dpkg-deb or dpkg-query with the parameters given to it,
but no specific options are currently passed to them, to use any
such option the back-ends need to be called directly.
