NAME

       dpkg-ruby - Utility to read a dpkg style db file, dpkg-awk clone

SYNOPSIS

       dpkg-ruby  [(-f|--file) filename] [(-d|--debug) ##] [(-s|--sort) list] [(-n|--numeric) list] [(-rs|--rec_sep) ??] '<fieldname>:<regex>' ...
       -- <out_fieldname> ..

DESCRIPTION

       dpkg-ruby Parses a dpkg status file(or other similarly formated file) and outputs the resulting records.  It can use  regex  on	the  field
       values to limit the returned records, and it can also be told which fields to output.  As another option, it can sort the matched fields.

OPTIONS

       -f filename
       --file filename
	      The file to parse.  The default is /var/lib/dpkg/status.

       -d [#]
       --debug [#]
	      Each time this is specified, it increased the debug level.

       -s field(s)
       --sort field(s)
	      A space or comma separated list of fields to sort on.

       -n field(s)
       --numeric field(s)
	      A space or comma separated list of fields that should be interpreted as numeric in value.

       -rs ??
       --rec_sep ??
	      Output this string at the end of each output paragraph.

       -h
       --help Display some help.

       fieldname
	      The fields from the file, that are matched with the regex given.	The fieldnames are case insensitive.

       out_fieldname
	      The  fields  from the file, that are outputted for each record.  If the first field listed is begins with ^, then the list that fol-
	      lows are fields NOT to be outputted.

BUGS

       Be warned that the author has only a shallow understanding of the dpkg packaging system, so there are probably tons of bugs  in	this  pro-
       gram.

       This  program  comes with no warranties.  If running this program causes fire and brimstone to rain down upon the earth, you will be on our
       own.

       This program accesses the dpkg database directly in places, querying for data that cannot be gotten via dpkg.

NAME

       dpkg-reconfigure - reconfigure an already installed package

SYNOPSIS

        dpkg-reconfigure [options] packages

DESCRIPTION

       dpkg-reconfigure reconfigures packages after they have already been installed. Pass it the names of a package or packages to reconfigure.
       It will ask configuration questions, much like when the package was first installed.

       If you just want to see the current configuration of a package, see debconf-show(1) instead.

OPTIONS

       -ftype, --frontend=type
           Select the frontend to use. The default frontend can be permanently changed by:

            dpkg-reconfigure debconf

           Note that if you normally have debconf set to use the noninteractive frontend, dpkg-reconfigure will use the dialog frontend instead,
           so you actually get to reconfigure the package.

       -pvalue, --priority=value
           Specify the minimum priority of question that will be displayed.  dpkg-reconfigure normally shows low priority questions no matter what
           your default priority is. See debconf(7) for a list.

       --default-priority
           Use whatever the default priority of question is, instead of forcing the priority to low.

       -u, --unseen-only
           By default, all questions are shown, even if they have already been answered. If this parameter is set though, only questions that have
           not yet been seen will be asked.

       --force
           Force dpkg-reconfigure to reconfigure a package even if the package is in an inconsistent or broken state. Use with caution.

       --no-reload
           Prevent dpkg-reconfigure from reloading templates. Use with caution; this will prevent dpkg-reconfigure from repairing broken templates
           databases.  However, it may be useful in constrained environments where rewriting the templates database is expensive.

       -h, --help
           Display usage help.
