Listado de paquetes de un repositorio (Debian/Ubuntu)

Si necesitamos ver el listado de paquetes que tiene un determinado repositorio que tenemos instalado en el equipo, podemos usar el fichero de cache que generamos mediante apt-get update:

En el directorio /var/lib/apt/lists podemos encontrar un fichero para cada repositorio acabado con “_Packages“. Dentro de dicho fichero podemos encontrar todos los paquetes del repositorio:

# cat /var/lib/apt/lists/archive.raspberrypi.org_debian_dists_wheezy_main_binary-armhf_Packages
