Trying to learn how to work with packages in Ubuntu (and have Gentoo experience). This command is already known:
(1) sudo apt-get install pkgname
Looking for counterparts of these:
(2) emerge -s pkgname
(3) equery files pkgname
(4) equery belongs filename
(5) cat /var/lib/portage world
Which useful (console) package commands do you use in Ubuntu? Links to Ubuntu packages tutorial in style of Gentoo's Handbook?
This would be the equivalent commands in Ubuntu:
apt-cache search packagedpkg -L packagedpkg -S filenameaptitude search ~n.*
This question is better suited for superuser.com or https://askubuntu.com/.
Anyway, I haven't used Gentoo's tools, but I think this Debian guide on package management is quite complete and you'll find the equivalents.
Some examples on apt-get:
apt-cache search package queries the repo for package.
apt-cache show package displays info on a certain package (dependencies and such).
