./misc/dpkg, Package maintenance system for Debian

[ CVSweb ] [ Homepage ] [ RSS ] [ Required by ] [ Add to tracker ]


Branch: CURRENT, Version: 1.22.15, Package name: dpkg-1.22.15, Maintainer: pkgsrc-users

This package contains the programs which handle the installation and
removal of Debian packages on your system. The primary interface for
the dpkg suite is the `dselect' program; a more low-level and less
user-friendly interface is available in the form of the `dpkg'
command.


Required to run:
[archivers/gtar-base] [lang/perl5] [devel/patch]

Required to build:
[textproc/po4a] [pkgtools/cwrappers]
