11.3.6.4 Information about installed packages<br />

11.4 Software monitor<br />

Information regarding the installed packages can be shown using the command dpkg. The run parameter<br />

-l and the package name can be entered to show the version number of an installed package. Using<br />

the run parameter -l without package names will result in the display of a list of all known packages.<br />

Wildcards in package names can be used to limit the search to certain packages. Wildcards can be an<br />

asterisk (’*’ - for no or many characters) or a question mark (’?’ - for exactly one character). It may be<br />

necessary to escape the wildcard when using asterisks as these may otherwise be interpreted by the shell.<br />

dpkg -l univention-config-registry<br />

dpkg -l<br />

dpkg -l univention-\*<br />

dpkg with the run parameter -L and a package name can be used to discover which files are contained<br />

in an installed package. No wildcards can be used with the run parameter -L.<br />

dpkg -L univention-ldap-server<br />

dpkg with the run parameter -S and a file name can be used to discover which package a file belongs<br />

to. The search can take some time as it encompasses the complete databases of the installed packages.<br />

Files that have been created by packages following installation cannot be assigned to a package by dpkg<br />

-S.<br />

dpkg -S /var/lib/univention-ldap/replog<br />

Further information on the dpkg command can be found on the man page (man dpkg).<br />

11.4 Software monitor<br />

The software monitor is a database in which information is stored concerning the software packages<br />

installed across the domain. This database offers an administrator an overview of which release and<br />

package versions are installed in the domain and offers information for the step-by-step updating of a <strong>UCS</strong><br />

domain and for use in identifying problems.<br />

<strong>UCS</strong> systems update their entries automatically when software is installed, uninstalled or updated.<br />

The database can be set up by selecting the Software monitor component in the <strong>Univention</strong> Installer. As<br />

standard, the component is only preselected on the domain controller master.<br />

The system on which the database is operated is set up by the DNS service record _pkgdb._tcp during<br />

installation of the packageunivention-pkgdb. If it is installed subsequently on other system roles, the<br />

DNS service record<br />

pkgdb tcp 0 0 5432 <br />

must be created manually. Further information can be found in the Chapter 4.5.9.4.<br />

The software monitor’s web-based interface integrates in the <strong>Univention</strong> Management Console. (General<br />

information on <strong>Univention</strong> Management Console can be found in Chapter 5.1) The following software<br />

monitor functions can be used:<br />
