    How to interpret the status of dpkg (–list)? | Programming in Linux

    nice, thx blue

    The first column corresponds to the status of a package. How to interpret this status.
    Status of every package is represented by three characters xxx

    Let’s explore each of the character signify.

    First character: The possible value for the first character. The first character signifies the desired state, like we (or some user) is marking the package for installation

    u: Unknown (an unknown state)
    i: Install (marked for installation)
    r: Remove (marked for removal)
    p: Purge (marked for purging)
    h: Hold

    Second Character: The second character signifies the current state, whether it is installed or not. The possible values are

    n: Not- The package is not installed
    i: Inst – The package is successfully installed
    c: Cfg-files – Configuration files are present
    u: Unpacked- The package is stilled unpacked
    f: Failed-cfg- Failed to remove configuration files
    h: Half-inst- The package is only partially installed
    W: trig-aWait
    t: Trig-pend

    Let’s move to the third character
    Third Character: This corresponds to the error state. The possible value include

    R: Reinst-required The package must be installed.

    Now you can easily interpret what ii, pn and rc correspond to.
