Where is the list of installed packages?
« on: October 14, 2004, 10:59:47 pm »
I installed an ipk (from the command line with ipkg install) to /mnt/card and it doesn't appear when I do an ipkg status, which looks like it just prints out  /usr/lib/ipkg/status

However, qpkg shows the package I installed in its "Installed" tab.

Can anyone shed some light on what's going on.
In particular how do I get the details of installed packages?

You might need to run 'ipkg-link mount /mnt/card' first.

Or.....

ipkg files <package name>: tells you which files came with such and such a package
ipkg-link list <mount point>: tells you what you have installed on a given mount point
ipkg status <package name>: tells you the status of such and such a package
ipkg info <package name>: tells you about such and such a package

Thanks! I hadn't come across the ipkg-link commands.

I guess the full list of installed packages (for me)  are the packages in both

/usr/lib/ipkg/status
/mnt/card/usr/lib/ipkg/status
