This is a quick summary of linux package commands, both for rpm
(Redhat, Fedora, ...) and dpkg (Debian, Ubuntu, ...)
I'm alot more familiar with RPMs so there may be some missing or wrong info for the dpkg stuff.
rpm -ihv <.rpm files>
rpm -Uhv <.rpm files>
I use the second one which is actually Update as thats more often what you mean, and it works for new installs also
dpkg -i <.deb file>
rpm -e <package>
dpkg -P <package>
rpm -q <package>
rpm -qa
Lists all installed
dpkg -l [package pattern]
Lists all of no pattern given
dpkg --get-selections
Installed Packages
rpm -ql <package>
dpkg -L <package>
In source package file
rpm -ql -p <.rpm file>
dpkg -c <.deb file>
rpm -q --whatprovides /path/to/file
dpkg -S /path/to/file
rpm -qi <package>
rpm -qi -p <.rpm files>
dpkg -p <package>
dpkg -s <package>
dpkg -I <.deb file>
