This functionality seems to be missing from commands like dpkg. Ideally, I want to duplicate the behavior of rpm --verify, but it seems difficult to do this in one relatively short command pipeline. Show Sample Output
0dpkg-query -Wf '${Package}\n' | xargs dpkg --status | sed '/^Conffiles:/,/^Description:/!d;//d' | awk '{print $2 " " $1}' | md5sum -c 2>/dev/null | grep FAILED$ | cut -f1 -d':' -
0salt -G 'os_family:Debian' cmd.run 'apt-get dist-upgrade --dry-run | grep ^Inst | cut -d" " -f2'
-
0dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Status}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n | grep installed

0% sudo yum remove streams-$(uname-r)

If you run dpkg --clear-selections or have otherwise selected installed packages for deinstall, but want to undo it, run this. It will set all installed packages back to installed status so that they won't be removed by commands like "dpkg -Pa"
0dpkg -l | grep ^ri | awk '{print $2 " install"}' | sudo dpkg --set-selections -
0export KEEP_KERNEL=2; dpkg -l 'linux-image*' | awk '/^ii/ { print $2 }' | grep "[0-9]" | awk 'BEGIN{i=1}{print i++, $0}' | grep `uname -r` -B99 | sort -r | tail -n+$(($KEEP_KERNEL+2)) | awk '{print $2}'| xargs apt-get -y purge

# AllInOne: Update what packages are available, upgrade to new versions, remove unneeded packages # (some are no longer needed, replaced by the ones from ap upgrade), check for dependencies # and clean local cached packages (saved on disk but not installed?,some are needed? [this only cleans unneeded unlike ap clean]). # aliases (copy into ~/.bashrc file): alias a='alias' a ap='apt-get' a r='ap autoremove -y' a up='ap update' a u='up && ap upgrade -y --show-progress && r && ap check && ap autoclean' # && means "and run if the previous succeeded", you can change it to ; to "run even if previous failed". I'm not sure if ap check should be before or after ap upgrade -y, you can also change the alias names. # To expand aliases in bash use ctrl alt e or see this ow.ly/zBKHs # For more useful aliases go to ow.ly/zBMOx
0apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade -y --show-progress && apt-get autoremove -y && apt-get check && apt-get autoclean -y -
Works for Debian an sons distros. With a bad internet connection sometime I download the updateable packages in another place, but I can't be there all time takes upgrade every packages... so I execute this for update only packages that are in Debian's apt cache. Using the 'sudo bash -c' for no asking every time apt-get need sudo permition.
0sudo bash -c "apt-get upgrade -s |grep 'Inst '| cut -d' ' -f2| xargs -l1 apt-get install - --no-download" -
Someone quoted Pooh in an init script. Let's see it! (Probably only works on Debian & friends) Show Sample Output

-1apt-show-versions <packagename> -
Same as 7272 but that one was too dangerous so i added -P to prompt users to continue or cancel Note the double space: "...^ii␣␣linux-image-2..." Like 5813, but fixes two bugs: [1]This leaves the meta-packages 'linux-headers-generic' and 'linux-image-generic' alone so that automatic upgrades work correctly in the future. [2]Kernels newer than the currently running one are left alone (this can happen if you didn't reboot after installing a new kernel).
-1sudo aptitude remove -P $(dpkg -l|awk '/^ii linux-image-2/{print $2}'|sed 's/linux-image-//'|awk -v v=`uname -r` 'v>$0'|sed 's/-generic//'|awk '{printf("linux-headers-%s\nlinux-headers-%s-generic\nlinux-image-%s-generic\n",$0,$0,$0)}') -
Especially useful for latex packages, which are listed in the description of their Ubuntu package E.g. say I want to find the Ubuntu package containing latex package aeguill:
aptitude search ~daeguillp texlive-lang-french - TeX Live: French-1aptitude search ~d<string> -
-1salt -G 'os_family:Debian' cmd.run ' /usr/lib/update-notifier/apt-check --human-readable'

This will, for an application that has already been removed but had its configuration left behind, purge that configuration from the system. To test it out first, you can remove the last -y, and it will show you what it will purge without actually doing it. I mean it never hurts to check first, "just in case." ;)
-3dpkg-query -l| grep -v "ii " | grep "rc " | awk '{print $2" "}' | tr -d "\n" | xargs aptitude purge -y -
