Pacman's equivalent in Ubuntu

Question

I use pacman in Arch Linux for installing packages.

• The command for installing is pacman -S,

• The command for a full system upgrade is pacman -Syu and

• The command for repository update is pacman -Syy.

I want to know what is the equivalent for pacman in Ubuntu and its corresponding command.

Answer 1

I have to refer you to this link from Arch Wiki which compares pacman commands with other package managers:

Arch            Debian/Ubuntu

pacman -[S|Q]i  apt show / apt-cache policy
pacman -Qi      dpkg -s / aptitude show
pacman -Si      apt-cache show / aptitude show
pacman -Ql      dpkg -L
pacman -Fl      apt-file list $pattern
pacman -Qo      dpkg -S / dlocate
pacman -Ql      dpkg-query -L
pacman -Fo      apt-file search
pacman -Fs      apt-file search
pacman -Qc      apt-get changelog

pacman -Ss      apt search
pacman -Qu      apt-get upgrade -> n
pacman -Sl      apt-cache dumpavail
...
...
