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
