2.3.1 dpkg

This is the main program for manipulating package files; read dpkg(8) for a full description.

dpkg comes with several primitive supplemental programs.

  • dpkg-deb: Manipulate .deb files. dpkg-deb(1)

  • dpkg-ftp: An older package file retrieval command. dpkg-ftp(1)

  • dpkg-mountable: An older package file retrieval command. dpkg-mountable(1)

  • dpkg-split: Splits a large package into smaller files. dpkg-split(1)

dpkg-ftp and dpkg-mountable have been superseded by the introduction of the APT system.
