Within Aptitude's graphical interface, the Tasks section lists the meta-packages offered during installation. I couldn't find the one you're looking for, though.

I wondered about that to. I just did a minimal netinst then ran 'tasksel' by hand - after I had rebooted to check my system worked.
tasksel didn't show 'standard system' like you get from the installer.

After reading the tasksel man page just now, and looking at /usr/share/tasksel/debian-tasks.desc, it is possible that "tasksel install standard" will do the job, I haven't tried it though.

[edit]
Added later...

Running "tasksel --new-install" makes the "Standard system utilities" option appear.

and playing around a bit more gives me the fact that the "standard" package consists of:

Code: Select all

tasksel -t --new-install --task-packages standard
~pstandard
~prequired
~pimportant
which leads to:

Code: Select all

aptitude search ~pstandard -F"%p"

so the equivalent, without using tasksel, would be:

Code: Select all

#aptitude install ~pstandard ~pimportant ~prequired

Re: What is the "standard system" Package called?

#5 Post by bugsbunny »

I have sidux repos in my sources.list, which is why some of those packages showed up (in case anyone is wondering). I could remove the repo, but they may come in handy (I don't actually have anything from there installed at the moment, other than the keyring files)

tasksel didn't show 'standard system' like you get from the installer.
This intrigues me, do I understand correctly, that at some point prior to the "tasksel" part of the install you rebooted to a working install. Then ran tasksel --new-install from your running new base install?

Cheers

My guess would be that he unselected the "Standard system utilities" package (along with everything else). Which would mean that he would get the "required" ones (since I assume they're part of the core system). Not sure if he'd get "important" or not. Maybe just some of them.

The default install (graphical desktop + Standard utils) would use the following command:

Code: Select all

aptitude -q -y install ~t^desktop$ ~t^gnome-desktop$ ~pstandard ~prequired ~pimportant

I did a reinstall and only chose "standard system" from the dvd.iso and now I got "openbsd-inetd" too. All sems to be fine. from now on I think I stick with dvd releases insted so i get less problems. with missing package's that do not get installed even if they are needed for like stuff like pure-ftpd-mysql.

Correct, I unselected everything in Tasksel during installation, so it would then just put Grub on my disk and finish.
I had had problems with partitioning and I didn't want to waste time and money installing a full desktop setup if it was going to be broken.

Just for the record: I have installed various Testing systems without selecting any task and all the packages marked as Important and Required are installed automatically, but only a pair of the ones marked as Standard are.
If you install gnome-core without recommended packages, it pulls about a half of the Standard packages.

There is a way to get package priority listed in the aptitude visual interface.
It might remind one a bit of dselect, although can be really handy if downgrading
or checking depends.
open aptitude
type G
which opens
"Enter the new package grouping mechanism for this display" box
scroll to the end of the line [...] ,section(topdir)
and add ,priority
{...],section(topdir),priority

then open the package view as normal .

If you use the visual interface enough you will learn visually
which sections include the standard packages.
Much the same (although not equal to) the way bugsbunny demonstrated above,
how to check from the commandline..

Ok, I can generate the list I need using (for example)

Code: Select all

tasksel --task-packages standard
But how do I send it to apt-get? I guess I need to pipe it or something...

You're welcome :)

I think you can do it directly with aptitude(8) as well, judging by @bugsbunny's posts earlier in the thread:

Code: Select all

# aptitude install ~pstandard
