package managment runtime library

package managment related utility programs

It is part of the OpenSSL implementation of SSL.

The Berkeley Internet Name Domain (BIND) implements an Internet domain name server. BIND is the most widely-used name server software on the Internet, and is supported by the Internet Software Consortium, www.isc.org. This package delivers various client programs related to DNS that are derived from the BIND source tree.

This package contains some less used commandline utilities related to package managment with APT.

libssl and libcrypto shared libraries needed by programs like apache-ssl, telnet-ssl and openssh.

SSL shared libraries

netfilter and iptables are used in applications such as Internet connection sharing, firewalls, IP accounting, transparent proxying, advanced routing and traffic control.

This package contains programs for creating, checking, and maintaining ext2/3/4-based file systems.

These are the user-space administration tools for the Linux kernel's netfilter and iptables. netfilter and iptables provide a framework for stateful and stateless packet filtering, network and port address translation, and other IP packet manipulation. The framework is the successor to ipchains.

query and manipulate user account information

Access control list utilities

This package contains the getfacl and setfacl utilities needed for manipulating access control lists.

Advanced Configuration and Power Interface event daemon

Modern computers support the Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) to allow intelligent power management on your system and to query battery and configuration status.

ACPID is a completely flexible, totally extensible daemon for delivering ACPI events. It listens on netlink interface (or on the deprecated file /proc/acpi/event), and when an event occurs, executes programs to handle the event. The programs it executes are configured through a set of configuration files, which can be dropped into place by packages or by the admin.

blacklist configuration user interface for Zeitgeist

This package contains Activity Log Manager, a graphical user interface which lets you control what gets logged by Zeitgeist. It supports setting up blacklists according to several criteria (such as application or file types), temporarily stopping all logging as well as deleting recent events.

add and remove users and groups

This package includes the 'adduser' and 'deluser' commands for creating and removing users.

Adding users with 'adduser' is much easier than adding them manually. Adduser will choose appropriate UID and GID values, create a home directory, copy skeletal user configuration, and automate setting initial values for the user's password, real name and so on.

Deluser can back up and remove users' home directories and mail spool or all the files they own on the system.

A custom script can be executed after each of the commands.

GNOME solitaire card game collection

This is a collection of over eighty different solitaire card games, including popular variants such as spider, freecell, klondike, thirteen (pyramid), yukon, canfield and many more.

convert and install rpm and other packages

Alien allows you to convert LSB, Red Hat, Stampede and Slackware Packages into Debian packages, which can be installed with dpkg.

It can also generate packages of any of the other formats.

Utilities for configuring and using ALSA

cron-like program that doesn't go by time

Anacron (like "anac(h)ronistic") is a periodic command scheduler. It executes commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it does not assume that the system is running continuously. It can therefore be used to control the execution of daily, weekly, and monthly jobs (or anything with a period of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day. When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals as closely as machine uptime permits.

This package is pre-configured to execute the daily jobs of the Debian system. You should install this program if your system isn't powered on 24 hours a day to make sure the maintenance jobs of other Debian packages are executed each day.

Java based build tool like make

A system independent (i.e. not shell based) build tool that uses XML files as "Makefiles". This package contains the scripts and the core tasks libraries.

The Apache Software Foundation's goal is to build a secure, efficient and extensible HTTP server as standards-compliant open source software. The result has long been the number one web server on the Internet.

commandline package manager

This package provides commandline tools for searching and managing as well as querying information about packages as a low-level access to all features of the libapt-pkg library.

package change history notification tool

The tool apt-listchanges can compare a new version of a package with the one currently installed and show what has been changed, by extracting the relevant entries from the Debian changelog and NEWS files.

It can be run on several .deb archives at a time to get a list of all changes that would be caused by installing or upgrading a group of packages. When configured as an APT plugin it will do this automatically during upgrades.

package management related utility programs

This package contains some less used commandline utilities related to package management with APT.

transaction based package management service

Aptdaemon allows normal users to perform package management tasks, e.g. refreshing the cache, upgrading the system, installing or removing software packages.

Currently it comes with the following main features:

This package contains the aptd script and all the data files required to run the daemon. Moreover it contains the aptdcon script, which is a command line client for aptdaemon. The API is not stable yet.

data files for clients

This package provides common data files (e.g. icons) for aptdaemon clients.
