NAME
AptPkg::Cache - APT package cache interfaceSYNOPSIS
use AptPkg::Cache;DESCRIPTION
The AptPkg::Cache module provides an interface to APT's package cache.AptPkg::Cache
The AptPkg::Cache package implements the APT pkgCacheFile class as a hash reference (inherits from AptPkg::hash). The hash keys are the names of packages in the cache, and the values are AptPkg::Cache::Package objects (which in turn appear as hash references, see below).Constructor
- new([LOCK])
-
Instantiation of the object uses configuration from the
$AptPkg::Config::_config and $AptPkg::System::_system objects
(automatically initialised if not done explicitly).
The cache initialisation can be quite verbose---controlled by the value of $_config->{quiet}, which is set to ``2'' (quiet) if the $_config object is auto-initialised.
The cache directory is locked if LOCK is true.
It is important to note that the structure of the returned object contains self-referential elements, so some care must be taken if attempting to traverse it recursively.
Methods
- files
- Return a list of AptPkg::Cache::PkgFile objects describing the package files.
- packages
- Return an AptPkg::PkgRecords object which may be used to retrieve additional information about packages.
- get, exists, keys
- These methods are used to implement the hashref abstraction: $obj->get($pack) and $obj->{$pack} are equivalent.
- is_multi_arch
- Cache is multi-arch enabled.
- native_arch
- Native architecture.
AptPkg::Cache::Package
Implements the APT pkgCache::PkgIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- Name
- Section
- Arch
- Package name, section and architecture.
- FullName
- Fully qualified name, including architecture.
- ShortName
- The shortest unambiguous package name: the same as "Name" for native packages, and "FullName" for non-native.
- SelectedState
- InstState
- CurrentState
-
Package state from the status file.
SelectedState may be "Unknown", "Install", "Hold", "DeInstall" or "Purge".
InstState may be "Ok", "ReInstReq", "HoldInst" or "HoldReInstReq".
CurrentState may be "NotInstalled", "UnPacked", "HalfConfigured", "HalfInstalled", "ConfigFiles" or "Installed".
In a numeric context, SelectedState, InstState and CurrentState evaluate to an AptPkg::State:: constant.
- VersionList
- A reference to an array of AptPkg::Cache::Version objects describing available versions of the package.
- CurrentVer
- An AptPkg::Cache::Version object describing the currently installed version (if any) of the package.
- RevDependsList
- A reference to an array of AptPkg::Cache::Depends objects describing packages which depend upon the current package.
- ProvidesList
- For virtual packages, this is a reference to an array of AptPkg::Cache::Provides objects describing packages which provide the current package.
- Flags
-
A comma separated list if flags: "Auto", "Essential" or
"Important".
In a numeric context, evaluates to a combination of AptPkg::Flag:: constants.
[Note: the only one of these you need worry about is "Essential", which is set based on the package's header of the same name. "Auto" seems to be used internally by APT, and "Important" seems to only be set on the apt package.]
- Index
- Internal APT unique reference for the package record.
AptPkg::Cache::Version
Implements the APT pkgCache::VerIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- VerStr
- Section
- Arch
- The package version, section and architecture.
- MultiArch
-
Multi-arch state: "No", "All", "Foreign", "Same", "Allowed",
"AllForeign" or "AllAllowed".
In a numeric context, evaluates to an AptPkg::Version:: constant.
- ParentPkg
- An AptPkg::Cache::Package objct describing the package providing this version.
- DescriptionList
- A list of AptCache::Cache::Description objects describing the files which descrie a package version. The list includes both Package files and Translation files, which contain translated Description fields.
- TranslatedDescription
- An AptCache::Cache::Description object for the current locale, which will generally be a Translation file.
- DependsList
- A reference to an array of AptPkg::Cache::Depends objects describing packages which the current package depends upon.
- ProvidesList
- A reference to an array of AptPkg::Cache::Provides objects describing virtual packages provided by this version.
- FileList
- A reference to an array of AptPkg::Cache::VerFile objects describing the packages files which include the current version.
- Size
- The .deb file size, in bytes.
- InstalledSize
- The disk space used when installed, in bytes.
- Index
- Internal APT unique reference for the version record.
- Priority
-
Package priority: "important", "required", "standard", "optional"
or "extra".
In a numeric context, evaluates to an AptPkg::VerPriority:: constant.
AptPkg::Cache::Depends
Implements the APT pkgCache::DepIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- DepType
-
Type of dependency: "Depends", "PreDepends", "Suggests",
"Recommends", "Conflicts", "Replaces" or "Obsoletes".
In a numeric context, evaluates to an AptPkg::Dep:: constant.
- ParentPkg
- ParentVer
- AptPkg::Cache::Package and AptPkg::Cache::Version objects describing the package declaring the dependency.
- TargetPkg
- AptPkg::Cache::Package object describing the depended package.
- TargetVer
- For versioned dependencies, TargetVer is a string giving the version of the target package required.
- CompType
- CompTypeDeb
-
CompType gives a normalised comparison operator (>, >=, etc)
describing the relationship to TargetVer ("" if none).
CompTypeDeb returns Debian-style operators (>> rather than >).
In a numeric context, both CompType and CompTypeDeb evaluate to an AptPkg::Dep:: constant.
Alternative dependencies (Depends: a | b) are identified by all but the last having the AptPkg::Dep::Or bit set in the numeric representation of CompType (and CompTypeDeb).
- Index
- Internal APT unique reference for the dependency record.
AptPkg::Cache::Provides
Implements the APT pkgCache::PrvIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- Name
- Name of virtual package.
- OwnerPkg
- OwnerVer
- AptPkg::Cache::Package and AptPkg::Cache::Version objects describing the providing package.
- ProvideVersion
- Version of the virtual package. [Not currently supported by dpkg]
- Index
- Internal APT unique reference for the provides record.
AptPkg::Cache::VerFile
Implements the APT pkgCache::VerFileIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- File
- An AptPkg::Cache::PkgFile object describing the packages file.
- Offset
- Size
- The byte offset and length of the entry in the file.
- Index
- Internal APT unique reference for the version file record.
AptPkg::Cache::PkgFile
Implements the APT pkgCache::PkgFileIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- FileName
- Packages file path.
- IndexType
- File type: "Debian Package Index", "Debian dpkg status file".
- Archive
- Component
- Version
- Origin
- Label
- Site
- Fields from the Release file.
- IsOk
- True if the cache is in sync with this file.
- Index
- Internal APT unique reference for the package file record.
AptPkg::Cache::DescFile
Implements the APT pkgCache::DescFileIterator class as a hash reference.Keys
- File
- An AptPkg::Cache::PkgFile object describing the packages file.
