DPKG Description

DPKG is a tool that allows you to install, build and remove Debian packages. aptitude is the primary front-end to DPKG. It is more user-friendly. DPKG is controlled entirely by command line parameters. These parameters consist of one action and zero to more options. The action parameter tells DPKG exactly what to do, while the options control the behavior of that action. DPKG can also serve as a front-end for DPKG -deb(1) or DPKG -query. You can find the list of supported actions in the actions section. If such an action is encountered, DPKG simply runs DPKG–deb or DPKG–query with the parameters provided to it. However, no specific options are currently given to them. To use any of these options, the back-ends must be called directly. DPKG keeps some useful information about available packages. The information can be divided into three categories: states, selection states, flags. These values can be modified primarily with dselect.
