I want to see all URLs that for packages that would be downloaded for apt install &lt;pkg&gt; without actually installing the package.  Normally, the URLs can be extracted from the screen output after installing the package (as above).  An example of a URL I want to list:    Is it only possible to get such list of URLs beforehand by looking through all the apt's package source lists?

I know that when it comes to the Red Hat distribution, I can use the following commands to download a copy of the package and then separately install it. yumdownloader package_name yum install package_name  Is there an exact equivalent in Ubuntu that does both the operations separately, or does the following command do both? apt-get install package_name

I often install packages and updates for them, although sometimes it is not convenient to do a reboot if one of the packages needs it, so is there any way of telling BEFORE installing the package/update whether or not it will require you to do a reboot? I have already looked  and the solutions there don't solve my problem, nor the more or less same one described there.

I have tried to find some PPA's for Ubuntu 14.04 but didn't find any. So I tried to install the package for previous releases, with no luck and a lot of dependencies issues.

I would like to set up an APT repository on a server that will provide a couple of packages.  Is there a way to set one up without installing any software on the server?  How do the files have to be organized?    Edit: I must be doing something wrong... can someone please help me? I have the repository at   I'm not sure where or what, but something's misconfigured. I only currently have one package and it's for all architectures.  Here's what's been added to my /etc/apt/sources.list:  deb http://quickmediasolutions.com/apt stable main

I have tried several askubuntu threads but yet to no avail none have all met qualifications.   I installed allvideodownloader, and found a better version an earlier version; I downloaded from software-center, so there should not have been a related programs version problem and I got this error:  The following packages have unmet dependencies:  allvideodownloader : Depends: allvideodownloader-bin (= 2.6.0-0ubuntu1)  apache2.2-bin : Depends: libaprutil1-ldap but it is not going to be installed E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages.   I have tried the usual suspects, in synaptic, software-center and aptitude.   apt-get autoremove --purge allvideodownloader Package allvideodownloader is not installed, so not removed 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded   apt-get remove --auto-remove allvideodownloader-bin Package allvideodownloader is not installed, so not removed 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded   apt-get remove --auto-remove allvideodownloader-bin E Unable to locate package allvideoinstaller-bin   sudo apt-get install allvideoinstaller-bin E Unable to locate package allvideoinstaller-bin   This is what I believe to be so; allvideodownloader changed the versions on several packages at install and didn't change them back at uninstall. These packages are somehow not reverse compatible using usual means.  I am having a headache I am growing used to from staring at this problem and that wont help matters. I've tried manner of install , purge and repair of broken packages   Please advise me on a repair.  thx,  DL

From the search results I was able to get so far my question seems unlikely, although I don't know why ;-)  I'm writing an installation guide for a program and need a “compatibility matrix” for several packages on the different distributions. So what I need is the information in which distributions and releases a given package X is available, optionally together with the version.  Of course each distribution has a package index like  from where I can get the information for this distribution. But is there an index or a search engine anywhere that can give me this information for many (all?) distributions?

I was trying to install EPrints on my Ubuntu 20.04 desktop but it lacked the dependency package xpdf. I have tried multiple ways to install it but failed.  Could anyone please tell me how to install it .

I'd like to find out which packages  sudo apt-get build-dep &lt;package&gt;   would install (if I already got some dependencies installed, I'd also like to see those → so running or simulating the above is not enough). Command line preferred.

I used MiKTeX 2.9 on windows. I have downloaded a package I want to install from the internet (manually, not through MiKTeX). The archive (*.lmza) containing the package was saved to a directory on my C:\ drive. Through MikTeX -> Maintenance -> Settings -> Packages -> Change... I can select the directory in which I have saved the archive containing the package. However, if I choose Packages shall be installed from a directory and choose the location of the package, I get this error message: C:\my\package\is\here does not seem to be a local package repository. What does it take for a directory/folder to become a local package repository?

When I want to compile something from source in Ubuntu/Debian, I usually get build-dependencies by running "sudo apt-get build-dep PACKAGE_NAME" in the terminal.   They are (usually) useless once the compilation job is done.  So, how do I remove all build-dependencies for a particular package?

I want to install a package (DigiKam), but it has a lot of dependencies. If I decide I no longer need this software and uninstall it, will the now unnessary dependencies be removed?  If not, how can I do it manually?

I normally download all .deb packages and just copy the packages from /var/cache/apt/archives directory to the rest of the computers, saving me to have to download all the updates and programs again. But since Ubuntu 11.04, the directory keeps deleting the oldest file or some kind of delete method that literally resets the amount of packages there. So then I need to download them again on the rest of the PCs. The files stay there for a couple of days, but then "magically" it's not there anymore after some days.   So what do I need to do to tell Ubuntu NOT to eliminate any files from /var/cache/apt/archives, not even the previous versions of the same package? I do not want it to delete anything from there.  Just to add, I install packages using aptitude or synaptic.

When installing something from source (say, Ruby 1.9.2), what command can I run to get a complete list of all the dependencies needed to install that application? Is this possible?

I have ran into some issues when it went down to install Steam on Debian. The console as well as Apper comes up with missing dependencies  and the package isn't going to install.
