dpkg

Dpkg (Debian Package) is a utility for installing, uninstalling and managing software packages on the Debian operating system and others based on it. Dpkg provides the user with the ability to manage installed programs, update them, uninstall them, or check their status. It is also possible to manage configuration files and package dependencies with dpkg. Dpkg uses the deb format to package software packages.
Dpkg is part of the APT (Advanced Package Tool) package management system, which also provides convenient management of software dependencies and updates. Dpkg also provides a wide range of commands for working with packages, including installing, uninstalling, upgrading, cleaning, customizing, and more.

Key Features

One of the key features of dpkg is its ability to handle complex dependencies between packages, allowing you to install or remove required packages and automatically install their dependencies.
In addition, dpkg also provides the ability to manage package configuration files, allowing the user to choose between keeping the current version of the configuration file, installing a new version, or comparing both versions.
Overall, dpkg is an important tool for managing software packages in Debian-based operating systems and plays a key role in ensuring a stable and secure software experience.
