List certain installed packages
I am trying to see whether I have installed certain packages. I figured this would work
apt-get list --installed | grep "xxx"
but it doesn't. Any ideas?
Solution 1:
Try this:
apt list --installed | grep "xxx"
Edit: Alternatively, as Chev_603 wrote, you can do this:
dpkg -l | grep "xxx"
Edit 2: about apt list
, see man apt
. Looking at man apt-get
shows that apt-get
does not have the list --installed
option.
