NAME
sync-available - sync dpkg's available database with apt's database
SYNOPSIS
sync-available sync-available --version sync-available --help
DESCRIPTION
This program updates the dpkg(8) available database with the data in the apt(8) package database. This is required for grep-available(1) and other similar programs to give up-to-date results. The same functionality is available through dselect(8), when it is configured to use apt(8) as its acquisition method. However, this pro- gram does not require that dselect(8) is installed.
EXIT STATUS
The program exits with status code 0 if all went well, and a non-zero status code otherwise.
OPTIONS
--version Output the name and version of the program onto standard output stream. --help Give a brief usage statement on the standard output stream.
ENVIRONMENT
TMPDIR The name of the directory where temporary files are created. Default is /tmp.
AUTHOR
The program and this manual page were written by Antti-Juhani Kaijanaho <ajk@debian.org>.
