8.9. Administration of Packages
In order to install packages, you need to define where you want to get them from, where your package reservoir is.
You define your package reservoir in the file /etc/apt/sources.list
You can either work with package administration via the command line or with the help of a graphical application such as KPackage 5, or Webmin 10
A quick introduction to the use of the command line for working with package administration is given in this section.
This is the content of the file that contains the information about your package reservoir:
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main local deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux edu _Sarge_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20050808)]/ unstable contrib local main non-free # deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free #deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free ### Use (by uncommenting) either http or ftp, NOT both ### http based apt source: ---------------- # deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free # deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib non-free # deb http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/ sarge local ### ftp based apt source: ----------------- # deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free # deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib non-free # deb ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/ sarge local
Notice that the only line without a #-sign in the front is the line that says to use the cdrom that you used during installation. No other reservoir are activated. The first thing you should do is to activate the line that enables security upgrades, then some more reservoirs so that you can install additional packages.
For a start you can make it look like this:
#deb file:///cdrom/ sarge main local #deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux edu _Sarge_ - Unofficial i386 Binary-1 (20050808)]/ unstable contrib local main non-free #deb http://security.debian.org/ stable/updates main contrib non-free deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib non-free ### Use (by uncommenting) either http or ftp, NOT both ### http based apt source: ---------------- deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/ sarge local ### ftp based apt source: ----------------- # deb ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/ sarge main contrib non-free # deb ftp://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US/ sarge/non-US main contrib non-free # deb ftp://ftp.skolelinux.no/skolelinux/ sarge local
Notice that I placed a #-sign in front of the line containing "deb: cdrom", no need to install from cdrom when you have it available from the Internet.
If you add new lines to this file, then you have to update the database that contains information about what is available.
See Chapter 13 for other lines that you can add as sources for packages.
8.9.1. Updating the Database with Info About Available Packages
The selection of available packages changes constantly. New packages become available; newer versions of packages appear, etc. So it is necessary to make sure that the database that contains information about the packages is kept constantly up-to-date. This is done with the command
apt-get update
tjener:~# apt-get update Get:1 http://ftp.skolelinux.no sarge/local Packages [17.4kB] Ign http://ftp.skolelinux.no sarge/local Release Get:2 http://non-us.debian.org sarge/non-US/main Packages [20B] Get:3 http://non-us.debian.org sarge/non-US/main Release [102B] Get:4 http://non-us.debian.org sarge/non-US/contrib Packages [20B] Get:5 http://non-us.debian.org sarge/non-US/contrib Release [105B] Get:6 http://non-us.debian.org sarge/non-US/non-free Packages [20B] Get:7 http://non-us.debian.org sarge/non-US/non-free Release [106B] Get:8 http://ftp.debian.org sarge/main Packages [3347kB] Get:9 http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/main Packages [155kB] Get:10 http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/main Release [110B] Get:11 http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/contrib Packages [538B] Get:12 http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/contrib Release [113B] Get:13 http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/non-free Packages [20B] Get:14 http://security.debian.org sarge/updates/non-free Release [114B] Get:15 http://ftp.debian.org sarge/main Release [95B] Get:16 http://ftp.debian.org sarge/contrib Packages [56.2kB] Get:17 http://ftp.debian.org sarge/contrib Release [98B] Get:18 http://ftp.debian.org sarge/non-free Packages [58.4kB] Get:19 http://ftp.debian.org sarge/non-free Release [99B] Fetched 3635kB in 23s (157kB/s) Reading Package Lists... Done
You should always run this command before you upgrade or add new packages.
8.9.2. Upgrading All Installed Packages to a Newer Version
All of the packages that have already been installed can be upgraded to a newer version with the command
apt-get upgrade
tjener:~# apt-get upgrade Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be upgraded: apache apache-common apache2-utils bsdutils cfengine cfengine-doc courier-authdaemon courier-base courier-imap courier-imap-ssl courier-ldap courier-ssl cpio debian-edu-config debian-edu-install education-common education-main-server education-networked education-tasks libapr0 libice6 libmysqlclient12 libpam-ldap libpcre3 libsensors3 libsm6 libsnmp-base libsnmp5 libssl0.9.7 libungif4g libx11-6 libxext6 libxft1 libxi6 libxmu6 libxmuu1 libxp6 libxpm4 libxrandr2 libxt6 libxtrap6 libxtst6 localization-config lynx mount mysql-common ntp ntp-refclock ntp-server ntpdate openssl python2.3 slbackup snmp squid squid-common tcpdump util-linux xdebconfigurator xfree86-common xlibs xlibs-data 62 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 23.7MB of archives. After unpacking 225kB disk space will be freed. Do you want to continue? [Y/n]
Just pressing Enter or pressing 'Y' and then Enter will download all these packages, and automatically install them for you. Maybe there will be a changelog displayed before the upgrade will start.
 | Sometimes it's really nice to know what is actually going to happen before you start to upgrade all installed packages. It's possible that it's not the right moment for you to start downloading several large packages. Maybe you need to wait until there is more bandwidth available. If you run apt-get upgrade --simulate then nothing will actually happen- the upgrade will only be simulated. If there is too much information on the screen, then you can tryapt-get upgrade --simulate | more If it looks fine, then you run the above command again, taking away the --simulateIt's also a good thing to consider using aptitude dist-upgrade in combination with apt-get upgrade, or instead of. |
Once you are done with the upgrade, you should delete the packages that have been downloaded and placed in /var/cache/apt/archives/, you delete these with the command
apt-get clean
If you don't do this regularly the partition /var will fill up.8.9.3. Overview of Installed Packages
You can get an overview of installed packages using the command
dpkg --list | more
Be aware that the first two letters indicate the status of the package; "ii" means that it is fully installed.If you are looking for a specific package, to find out if it is installed, or what version you have installed, use grep to search for it:
tjener:~# dpkg --list | grep apache ii apache 1.3.33-6 versatile, high-performance HTTP server ii apache-common 1.3.33-6 support files for all Apache webservers ii apache2-utils 2.0.54-4 utility programs for webservers
8.9.4. Finding the Name of a Specific Package
If you don't remember the name of a package, you can do a search of the database with the command
apt-cache search <packagename>
If there is too much text on the screen, then you can tryapt-cache search <packagename>|more
The two symbols < and > must not be used. They are only used in this example.
tjener:~# apt-cache search apache apache - versatile, high-performance HTTP server apache-common - support files for all Apache webservers apache-dbg - debug versions of the Apache webservers apache-dev - development kit for the Apache webserver apache-doc - documentation for the Apache webserver apache-perl - versatile, high-performance HTTP server with Perl support apache-ssl - versatile, high-performance HTTP server with SSL support apache-utils - utility programs for webservers (transitional package)
So you see there is much more related to apache than those few packages already installed on the system.
8.9.5. Showing Available Information about a Package
The commands
apt-cache showpkg <packagename>
andapt-cache policy <packagename>
will give you detailed info about the package.
tjener:~# apt-cache showpkg kdissert
Package: kdissert
Versions:

So you see the package kdissert is not installed, but is available for installation in version 0.3.8-1 from http://ftp.debian.org sarge/main
8.9.6. Installing a Package
When you have found the package you want, install it with the command
apt-get install <packagename>
If you want to see what will happen when you install it, you can first run a simulation with the commandapt-get install <packagename> --simulate
tjener:~# apt-get install aterm --simulate Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following NEW packages will be installed: aterm 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

8.9.7. Removing an Installed Package
To find the specific package that you want to remove, use the commands that were mentioned earlier for finding the name of the package.
When you know the name of the package, then you can remove it simply with the command
apt-get remove <packagename>
If you want to see what is going to happen when you remove the package, you can run a simulation first with the commandapt-get remove <packagename> --simulate
tjener:~# apt-get remove aterm --simulate Reading Package Lists... Done Building Dependency Tree... Done The following packages will be REMOVED: aterm 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 0 not upgraded.

8.9.8. Installing one Specific Version of a Package
When you install a package with the command
apt-get install <packagename>
the newest version will be automatically installed. Sometimes you don't want to install the newest version, just a little older version.apt-get install <packagename>=older_versions_number
If you think that the older version of the backup module of Webmin is better, then you should run
apt-cache showpkg webmin-slbackup
to get an overview of available versions
tjener:~# apt-cache policy webmin-slbackup
webmin-slbackup:

Here you can see that there are two versions available: 0.0.9-1 and 0.0.10-1If you want to install version 0.0.9-1, you can do that with the command
apt-get install webmin-slbackup=0.0.9-1

8.9.9. Installing a Package with the Help of dpkg
Sometimes you want to manually download a package from somewhere, such as from Opera's web page. Then you get a so-called .deb-package in your own home directory. You can install it by using the command
dpkg --install <>
If you first want to do a simulation, run the commanddpkg --no-act -install <packagename>

As you can see, dpkg is not as powerful as apt-get, because it doesn't manage to install all extra packages that is needed. If we now immediately run apt-get with some extra options apt-get --fix-broken things will improve

8.9.10. Searching Through Files that were Installed by a Specific Package
Sometimes it's nice to know exactly which files came from a specific package. You can get that overview with the command
dpkg --listfiles <packagename>
tjener:~# dpkg --listfiles opera /usr/bin /usr/bin/opera . . . /etc /etc/opera6rc /etc/opera6rc.fixed
8.9.11. Finding Which Package a File Came From
If you want to know which package a specific package came from, the command
dpkg --search <filename>
will help you find out.tjener:~# dpkg --search /etc/opera6rc.fixed opera: /etc/opera6rc.fixed
8.9.11.1. Unpacking the Files from a Package Without Installing Them
Maybe you have accidentally erased an important systems file, and you do not have any backup of it. What then? If you use the command
dpkg --search <filename>
you will find out which package the file originally comes from. That way you can unpack the package and get back the missing systems file.First, you have to get the relevant .deb-package. When you have done that, you place it in the /tmp directory. You unpack the files in that directory with the command
dpkg --vextract <packagename> /tmp
which will then create the necessary directories in the /tmp directory and then place the files there. | Never unpack the package directly in the root-/-directory! |
8.9.12. Making Your Own Local Mirror for Deb-Packages
There are some packages which I often install, as well as some packages that I wish I didn't have to download from the Internet every time. Even if the command apt-get makes it easier to install packages from the Internet, unfortunately apt-get won't increase the speed of my Internet connection. However, I can use apt-get to make my own mirror of the packages that I have downloaded. That way, in the future when I want to install these packages, the command apt-get will fetch the packages that I have already downloaded. This goes more quickly.
mkdir /var/www/dpkg
cp /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb /var/www/dpkg
cd /var/www/
dpkg-scanpackages dpkg /dev/null | gzip -9c > dpkg/Packages.gz
After that, a new line in the file /etc/apt/sources.list must be added to
deb file:///var/www dpkg/Then you must, as usual, run the command apt-get update in order to update your package database.
8.9.13. Upgrade of OpenOffice.org from 1.1.3 to 2.0
Skolelinux/Debian-eduis based on the version of Debian with the codename "Stable", that means the software that is included is thoroughly tested, and therefor deemed "Stable", this is all well and nice because that means your server will not crash, but it might mean that your users will crash your workday be demanding newer and uptodate software, then you must upgrade ..
Luckily you are not the only one with such demands coming from your users, and for this reason there has been put in place a framework where it is possible to install newer software on Debian Stable, which wasn't meant for it. Welcome "backports",http://www.backports.org/. Backports is a software repository holding such things as OpenOffice.org 2.0.
 | Before you install OpenOffice.org 2.0, it's vice to remove OpenOffice.org 1.1.3, like this: apt-get remove openoffice.org openoffice.org-bin openoffice.org-debian-files That will most likely remove most of the installed OpenOffice.org packages, to be sure useCOLUMNS=160 dpkg -l | grep openoffice to see which is left, then remove those as well. |
deb http://www.backports.org/debian/ sarge-backports mainThen do the usual
apt-get update
Then install OpenOffice.org 2.0 and some extra packages with the commandapt-get install openoffice.org openoffice.org-kde openoffice.org-l10n-nb openoffice.org-l10n-nn openoffice.org-l10n-de openoffice.org-l10n-fr --simulate
this will install just about all you need (and possibly some more) | Especially when it comes to installing software from "unofficial" repositories, like Backports, I strongly suggest running apt-get install with the --simulate switch the first time, just to see what actually will happen, before it happens, and when you are comfortable with what you see when using --simulate, or when you decide that you will try anyway, then just remove --simulate |

| Pay closely attention to what will be Removed. |
| Once you are done with installing OpenOffice.org 2.0 you should/must remove the line in /etc/apt/sources.list that referees to backports, if you forget that, and run apt-get upgrade with those lines included, the consequence can be dire ... |
8.9.14. Upgrade OpenClipart
 | If you follow these instructions and download to /tmp, then make sure you have enough space in /tmp. You need approximately 185MB space, check with df -h /tmp |
One very good companion to OpenOffice.org is OpenClipart, I recommend using the one from Debian Testing, you must manually download them and install them with
dpkg --install
, see the chapter dpkg. You find the info about the latest version of OpenClipart at the page http://packages.debian.org/testing/graphics/openclipart, you actually need to download 4 packages:OpenClipart packages
