NAME

       dd-list - nicely list .deb packages and their maintainers

SYNOPSIS

       dd-list [-hiusV] [--help] [--stdin] [--sources Sources_file] [--dctrl] [--version] [--uploaders] [package ...]

DESCRIPTION

       dd-list produces nicely formatted lists of Debian (.deb) packages and their maintainers.

       Input is a list of source or binary package names on the command line (or the standard input if --stdin is given).  Output is a list of the
       following format, where package names are source packages by default:

	      J. Random Developer <jrandom@debian.org>
		     j-random-package
		     j-random-other

	      Diana Hacker <diana@example.org>
		     fun-package
		     more-fun-package

       This is useful when you want, for example, to produce a list of packages that need to attention from their maintainers, e.g., to be rebuilt
       when a library version transition happens.

OPTIONS

       -h, --help
	      Print brief help message.

       -i, --stdin
	      Read package names from the standard input, instead of taking them from the command line. Package names are whitespace delimited.

       -d, --dctrl
	      Read  package  list  from standard input in the format of a Debian package control file. This includes the status file, or output of
	      apt-cache. This is the fastest way to use dd-list, as it uses the maintainer information from the input instead of  looking  up  the
	      maintainer of each listed package.

	      If no Source: line is given, the Package: name is used for output, which might be a binary package name.

       -s, --sources Sources_file
	      Read package information from the specified Sources_files.  This can be given multiple times.

	      If no Sources_files are specified, any files matching /var/lib/apt/lists/*_source_Sources will be used.

       -u, --uploaders
	      Also  list  developers  who  are named as uploaders of packages, not only the maintainers; this is the default behaviour, use --nou-
	      ploaders to prevent it. Uploaders are indicated with "(U)" appended to the package name.

       -nou, --nouploaders
	      Only list package Maintainers, do not list Uploaders.

       -b, --print-binary
	      Use binary package names in the output instead of source package names (has no effect with --dctrl if  the  Package:  line  contains
	      source package names).

       -V, --version
	      Print the version.

NAME

       dose--outdated - detect uninstallable packages due to obsolete dependencies

SYNOPSIS

       dose--outdated [option] ... file ...

DESCRIPTION

       dose-outdated identifies in a debian package repository those packages that are not installable with respect to that repository by the
       their inter-package relationships (dependencies, conflicts, ...), and that furthermore cannot become installable (in the current version)
       how matter how the rest of the repository evolves. This means that this package has to be updated in the repository to ever become
       installable again.

Input Specification
       Input files have to contain stanzas in the format of deb-control(5), separated by one blank line. For instance, the Packages files as found
       on a Debian mirror server, or in the directory /var/lib/apt/lists/ of a Debian system, are suitable as input. The repository used in the
       analysis consists of the union of all packages from the input files.

Output Specification
       The output of dose-outdated is in the YAML format.

OPTIONS

       -f --failure
	       Print the list of broken packages

       -e --explain
	       Explain the results in more detail.

       -s      Print a summary of broken packages.

       --dump  Dump to standard output in CUDF format the packages that are internally generated and exit (mostly useful for debugging purposes).

       --checkonly package[,package] ...
	       Specifies a list of packages to check. By default all packages are checked.

       -v      Enable info / warnings / debug messages. This option may be repeated up to three times in order to increase verbosity.

       --progress
	       Display progress bars.

       -h, --help
	       Display this list of options.

EXAMPLE

	dose-outdated -f -v /var/lib/apt/lists/ftp.fr.debian.org_debian_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages
