如何在 Linux 上检查一个软件包的详细信息

我们可以就这个已经被广泛讨论的话题写出大量的文章,大多数情况下,因为各种各样的原因,我们都愿意让包管理器package manager来帮我们做这些事情。

每个 Linux 发行版都有自己的包管理器,并且每个都有各自有不同的特性,这些特性包括允许用户执行安装新软件包,删除无用的软件包,更新现存的软件包,搜索某些具体的软件包,以及更新整个系统到其最新的状态之类的操作。

习惯于命令行的用户大多数时间都会使用基于命令行方式的包管理器。对于 Linux 而言,这些基于命令行的包管理器有 yumdnfrpmaptapt-getdpkgpacmanzypper

推荐阅读

作为一个系统管理员你应该清楚地知道:安装包来自何方,具体来自哪个软件仓库,包的具体版本,包的大小,版本,包的源代码 URL,包的许可证信息,等等。

这篇短文将用尽可能简单的方式帮你从随包自带的总结和描述中了解该包的用法。按你所使用的 Linux 发行版的不同,运行下面相应的命令,你能得到你所使用的发行版下的包的详细信息。

YUM 命令:在 RHEL 和 CentOS 系统上获得包的信息

YUM 英文直译是“黄狗更新器–修改版Yellowdog Updater, Modified”,它是一个开源的基于命令行的包管理器前端实用工具。它被广泛应用在基于 RPM 的系统上,例如:RHEL 和 CentOS。

Yum 是用于在官方发行版仓库以及其他第三方发行版仓库下获取、安装、删除、查询 RPM 包的主要工具。

Description : Python is an interpreted, interactive, object-oriented programming

            : modules, classes, exceptions, very high level dynamic data types and

            : libraries, as well as to various windowing systems (X11, Motif, Tk,
            : Mac and MFC).
            :
            : Programmers can write new built-in modules for Python in C or C++.
            : Python can be used as an extension language for applications that need
            : a programmable interface.

            : This package provides the "python" executable; most of the actual
            : implementation is within the "python-libs" package.

YUMDB 命令:查看 RHEL 和 CentOS 系统上的包信息

yumdb info 这个命令提供与 yum info 相类似的的信息,不过它还额外提供了诸如包校验值、包类型、用户信息(由何人安装)。从 yum 3.2.26 版本后,yum 开始在 rpm 数据库外储存额外的信息了(此处如显示 user 表明该包由用户安装,而 dep 说明该包是被作为被依赖的包而被安装的)。

(LCTT 译注:用 yumdb info 来获取 python 包的信息)

RPM 命令:在 RHEL/CentOS/Fedora 系统上查看包的信息

RPM 英文直译为“红帽包管理器Red Hat Package Manager”,这是一个在 RedHat 以及其变种发行版(如RHEL、CentOS、Fedora、openSUSE、Megeia)下的功能强大的命令行包管理工具。它能让你轻松的安装、升级、删除、查询以及校验你的系统或服务器上的软件。RPM 文件以 .rpm 结尾。RPM 包由它所依赖的软件库以及其他依赖构成,它不会与系统上已经安装的包冲突。

DNF 命令:在 Fedora 系统上查看包信息

DNF 指“时髦版的 YumDandified yum”,我们也可以认为 DNF 是下一代的 yum 包管理器(Yum 的一个分支),它在后台使用了 hawkey/libsolv 库。Aleš Kozumplík 在Fedora 18 上开始开发 DNF,在 Fedora 22 上正式最后发布。 dnf 命令用来在 Fedora 22 及以后的系统上安装、更新、搜索以及删除包。它能自动的解决包安装过程中的包依赖问题。

apt-cache 命令:在 Debian/Ubuntu/Mint 系统上查看包信息

apt-cache 命令能显示 apt 内部数据库中的大量信息。这些信息是从 sources.list 中的不同的软件源中搜集而来,因此从某种意义上这些信息也可以被认为是某种缓存。这些信息搜集工作是在运行 apt update 命令时执行的。

APT 命令:查看 Debian/Ubuntu/Mint 系统上的包信息

APT 意为高级打包工具Advanced Packaging Tool,就像 DNF 将如何替代 YUM 一样,APT 是 apt-get 的替代物。它功能丰富的命令行工具包括了如下所有命令的功能如 apt-cacheapt-searchdpkgapt-cdromapt-configapt-key 等等,我们可以方便的通过 apt 来安装 .dpkg 包,但是我们却不能通过 apt-get 来完成这一点,还有一些其他的类似的功能也不能用 apt-get 来完成,所以 apt-get 因为没有解决上述功能缺乏的原因而被 apt 所取代。

 GNU nano is an easy-to-use text editor originally designed as a replacement
 for Pico, the ncurses-based editor from the non-free mailer package Pine
 (itself now available under the Apache License as Alpine).
 .
 However, GNU nano also implements many features missing in pico, including:
  - undo/redo
  - line numbering
  - syntax coloring
  - soft-wrapping of overlong lines
  - selecting text by holding Shift
  - interactive search and replace (with regular expression support)
  - a go-to line (and column) command
  - support for multiple file buffers
  - auto-indentation
  - tab completion of filenames and search terms
  - toggling features while running
  - and full internationalization support

dpkg 命令:查看Debian/Ubuntu/Mint系统上的包信息

dpkg 意指 Debian 包管理器Debian package managerdpkg 是用于 Debian 系统上安装、构建、移除以及管理 Debian 包的命令行工具。dpkg 使用 aptitude(因为它更为主流及用户友好)作为前端工具来完成所有的功能。其他的工具如dpkg-debdpkg-query 使用 dpkg 做为前端来实现功能。尽管系统管理员还是时不时会在必要时使用 dpkg 来完成一些软件安装的任务,他大多数情况下还是会因为 aptapt-get 以及 aptitude 的健壮性而使用后者。
