Package: debian-goodies (0.61)

[ Source: debian-goodies  ]

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)
 which-pkg-broke - find which package might have broken another
