NAME
org.debian.apt - the main interface of aptdaemon
SYNOPSIS
The daemon is accessed through the D-Bus object at /org/debian/apt. Which provides the
following interface.
DESCRIPTION
METHODS
AddRepository
AddRepository (in 's' type,
in 's' uri,
in 's' dist,
in 'as' comps,
in 's' comment,
in 's' sourcesfile)
Add a new repository to the sources list file. The repository has to define the
type (e.g. deb or deb-src), uri (e.g. http://archive.debian.org/debian), the
distribution (e.g. stable) and a list of components (e.g. main).
Optionally a comment and an alternative sources.list file can be specified.
EnableDistroComponent
EnableDistroComponent (in 's' comp)
Enable a component for all distro repositories, e.g. main or universe.
GetTrustedVendorKeys
GetTrustedVendorKeys (out 'as' keys)
Return the GnuPG keys which are used to authenticate packages.
GetAtiveTransactions
GetActiveTransactions (out 'as' tids)
Return an array of the currently queued transactions.
Quit
Quit ()
Request the shutdown of the daemon. The daemon will finish a currently running
transaction before.
TRANSACTION BASED METHODS
The following methods are handled by transactions. By calling the methods a new
transaction will be created for the task. The return value of the method is the D-Bus
object path of the corresponding transaction. The transaction can be modified, to use an
http proxy or to run in a specific language by setting the corresponding properties on the
org.debian.apt.transaction(7) interface. Afterwards the transaction has to be queued for
processing by calling its Run method on the org.debian.apt.transaction(7) interface.
UpdateCache
UpdateCache (out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will fetch the latest meta data
from the repositories and rebuild the cache of available and installed packages.
UpdateCachePartially
UpdateCachePartially (in 's' sources_list,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will fetch the latest meta data
from the repositories specified in the given sources.list snippet only and rebuild
the cache of available and installed packages.
InstallPackages
InstallPackages (in 'as' package_names,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will install the packages of the
given names.
Optionally the to be installed version can be specified by appending a "=" and the
version to the package name, e.g. "xterm=256-1".
InstallFile
InstallFile (in 's' path,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly create transaction which will install a local *.deb
package file at the given path.
UpgradePackages
UpgradePackages (in 'as' package_names,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will upgrade the packages of the
given names to their latest version.
Optionally the to be installed version can be specified by appending a "=" and the
version to the package name, e.g. "xterm=256-1".
RemovePackages
RemovePackages (in 'as' package_names,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will remove the packages of the
given names.
Optionally the version of the to be removed packages can be specified by appending
a "=" and the version to the package name, e.g. "xterm=256-1".
UpgradeSystem
UpgradeSystem (in 'b' safe_mode,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will upgrade the whole system.
If in safe mode only already installed packages will be updated. Updates which
require to remove installed packages or to install additional packages will be
skipped.
CommitPackages
CommitPackages (in 'as' install,
in 'as' reinstall,
in 'as' remove,
in 'as' purge,
in 'as' upgrade,
in 'as' downgrade,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will perform a complex
install/removal task at once. Install, reinstall, remove, purge and upgrade are
lists of package names.
Optionally the version of the to be removed packages or the version of the package
which should be installed can be specified by appending a "=" and the version to
the package name, e.g. "xterm=256-1".
AddVendorKeyFromFile
AddVendorKeyFromFile (in 's' path,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will install the public GnuPG
key at the given path to the list of trusted software vendors. The list will be
used to authenticate packages.
AddVendorKeyFromKeyserver
AddVendorKeyFromKeyserver (in 's' keyid,
in 's' keyserver,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will download and install the
public GnuPG key of the keyid from the given keyserver to the list of trusted
software vendors. The list will be used to authenticate packages.
RemoveVendorKey
RemoveVendorKey (in 's' fingerprint,
out 's' tid)
Return the id of a newly created transaction which will remove the public GnuPG key
with the given fingerprint from the list of trusted software vendors. The list will
be used to authenticate packages.
FixBrokenDepends
