Thanks Franklin52 for taking your time to explain this newbie. I'm still learning the code you have shared. Can I have some more questions on this please.

Quote:
Code:
'NR==FNR{a[$1];next}

Define an array a with the first field as index if we read the first file.
I'm able to understand that only while reading the first file NR and FNR will be equal. Is this some kind of "if condition". I could not see any "if" there.SmilieSmilie
Kindly bear my ignorance.

About the solution by gcp, it is self explanatory and I have no questions on it.

NAME
dpkg-preconfigure - let packages ask questions prior to their installation SYNOPSIS
dpkg-preconfigure [options] package.deb dpkg-preconfigure --apt DESCRIPTION
dpkg-preconfigure lets packages ask questions before they are installed. It operates on a set of debian packages, and all packages that use debconf will have their config script run so they can examine the system and ask questions. OPTIONS
-ftype, --frontend=type Select the frontend to use. -pvalue, --priority=value Set the lowest priority of questions you are interested in. Any questions with a priority below the selected priority will be ignored and their default answers will be used. --terse Enables terse output mode. This affects only some frontends. --apt Run in apt mode. It will expect to read a set of package filenames from stdin, rather than getting them as parameters. Typically this is used to make apt run dpkg-preconfigure on all packages before they are installed. To do this, add something like this to /etc/apt/apt.conf: // Pre-configure all packages before // they are installed. DPkg::Pre-Install-Pkgs { "dpkg-preconfigure --apt --priority=low"; }; -h, --help Display usage help. SEE ALSO
