How to tell which repositories provide which packages?

Is there a way to tell from which repositories packages have been
installed? I particularly want to see if I have any packages installed from a particular PPA. -- Chris Green -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

This will give you your installed version, the candidate version that's available (if any), and the sources for the various versions: apt-cache policy PACKAGENAME If you're feeling frisky, either of these will probably give you way more information that you need, but can be good to keep in your back pocket: dpkg -s PACKAGENAME apt-cache showpkg PACKAGENAME -- Little Girl There is no spoon. -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

For example apt-cache policy '*' | grep ppa shows all packages provided by a ppa and to what ppa they belong to, so '*' must be replaced by the output of a script, that lists only all installed packages, something like e.g. apt list --installed | cut -d/ -f1 However, something like apt-cache policy $(apt list --installed | cut -d/ -f1) | grep ppa won't do the job, since it does list packages containing 'ppa' that don't belong to any PPAs, while PPAs are shown without the installed packages that belongs to them. It's possible to solve this issue, either by investing some time in writing a script or perhaps by googling for scripts that already do exist. AFAIK there's no command available, that does what the OP wants to get. -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

I found this page: https://askubuntu.com/questions/43581/how-to-list-packages-from-a-ppa-source-in-command-line By following the steps in the first solution that the OP was offered, I was able to come up with this example that shows me all packages installed by the Vivaldi PPA on my system (note that this is a one-line command, but it might wrap at your end): awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.vivaldi*Packages You'll need to go take a look in the /var/lib/apt/lists directory and find all entries that contain your PPA name and end in "Packages". Then edit the above command with a wildcarded path to that or those. This might work, but I'm guessing at how the PPA is listed: awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.vincent-vandevyvre*Packages Or perhaps this might work: awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.vincent*Packages I don't have that PPA, so when I try to run either of those last two commands, I get a fatal awk warning that the file or directory doesn't exist. Your mileage may vary. Also, there's more than one solution on that page, so if you'd prefer something different, see what you think of the others. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

Just click on the Origin button. I don't have anything installed from a PPA on this machine, but I am sure it showed them in the past.

I had sent a couple of possibilities for him in a previous email, but have been tinkering with it since then so I can add it to my ever-growing cheat sheet of common commands. This one shows all packages installed by any PPA on the system rather than listing packages from a specific PPA: awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.*Packages I suppose that could come in handy at some point. -- Little Girl There is no spoon. -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

It apparently only works on packages that aren't installed by PPAs. I looked up Syncthing and it hasn't got an official PPA, so you'll want to look in Synaptic or /etc/apt/sources.list or /var/lib/apt/lists to find out what the repository name is. Then you can run this command, replacing REPOSITORYNAME with the specific name for the PPA for that program: awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.REPOSITORYNAME*Packages >> If you're feeling frisky, either of these will probably give you >> way more information that you need, but can be good to keep in >> your back pocket: >> >> dpkg -s PACKAGENAME >> >> apt-cache showpkg PACKAGENAME >> >Neither of these seems to show anything about the PPA. The second one gives me some PPA information for the Vivaldi PPA when I do this: apt-cache showpkg vivaldi-stable The "File" lines were the results I was after, so I refined the command a bit: apt-cache showpkg vivaldi-stable | grep File That uses the "vivaldi-stable" package name to give me the repository information I needed for use in the above command. So, to recap, if I have a package name, I can use it in this command to get its PPA name, which is right after "repo" in the results: apt-cache showpkg PACKAGENAME | grep File Then I can follow that by inserting the repository name I got from that command into this command to get all the packages installed by that PPA: awk '$1 == "Package:" { print $2 }' /var/lib/apt/lists/repo.REPOSITORYNAME*Packages -- Little Girl There is no spoon. -- ubuntu-users mailing list [hidden email] Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-users |

I guess this does the job:

I don't know the policy for package versioning. Perhaps it's better to replace "[:digit:]" by "[:alnum:]", juts in case it should be allowed to start with a letter. The main point is to get rid of packages "Installed: (none)". It's probably not allowed to start the versioning with a char that is neither a number, nor a letter.
