More essential programs for the host

Continuing 2.2.2 Host System Software.

sudo apt update

Played around with:

sudo apt list --upgradable
sudo apt upgrade
sudo apt autoremove --dry run
sudo apt auto remove

Now installed missing programs or possibly tried to reinstall two programs

sudo apt update
sudo apt install bison
sudo apt install gawk
sudo apt install m4
sudo apt install texinfo

sudo apt install findutils - I assume this was already installed
sudo apt install diffutils - I assume this was already installed

Checking versions

Versions found with the name of the program:

bison --version
m4 --version
gawk --version

Versions where you use a characteristic command, i.e. findutils –version did not work. For findutils, diffutils, and texinfo:

find --version 
diff --version
info --version

To do

This completes the list of essential software for the host. Except… for the “packages with software headers.”

Are there any separate packages with software headers for the essential software? That will probably be <package name>-dev or <package name>-devel
