Hi friends,
i have one doubt.
how can we find , whether one package is installed in our system or
not via terminal.
in synaptic , we can see the color difference between installed
packages and non-installed packages.
like wise , how can we find the difference b/w installed and non-installed
package using command ?
In terminal , [for eg]
$ apt-cache search tuxpaint
It will give the package details about tuxpaint
$ apt-get install tuxpaint
It will give result ,
if installed , -> the package tuxpaint is already installed and newest version.
if not installed -> the package size is 29MB.
...
bla bla bla bbblllabba .
...
Need to get 28.9MB of archives.
After this operation, 49.6MB of additional disk space will be used.
Do you want to continue [Y/n]?
so my question is , the alternate command to find out the particular
package is installed or not , via terminal .
i searched in net , but cant get clearly .
any one can suggest me . thanks in advance !
