Package: debian-goodies (0.47)

Small toolbox-style utilities for Debian systems

These programs are designed to integrate with standard shell tools, extending them to operate on the Debian packaging system. 

 dgrep  - Search all files in specified packages for a regex
 dglob  - Generate a list of package names which match a pattern

These are also included, because they are useful and don't justify their own packages: 

 debget       - Fetch a .deb for a package in APT's database
 dpigs        - Show which installed packages occupy the most space
 debman       - Easily view man pages from a binary .deb without extracting
 debmany      - Select manpages of installed or uninstalled packages
 checkrestart - Help to find and restart processes which are using old
                versions of upgraded files (such as libraries)
 popbugs      - Display a customized release-critical bug list based on
                packages you use (using popularity-contest data)
