Talk:Debian Package Management

dependency, recommends --VAGRANT ADD SOMETHING

and something about "pinning"

explain dpkg -l header:

Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold
| Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed
|/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad)
||/ Name                          Version                       Description
+++-=============================-=============================-================
un  hello                         <none>                        (no description available)

pete question:

syntax of, for example:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main restricted

versus:

deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates main
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu breezy-updates restricted

yes. these are actually equivalent. --Vagrant
