/etc/apt/sources.list

A sources list used to defined where apt tries to get it's packages from.

 nano /etc/apt/sources.list

You can add a CD or DVD disc to the sources list (you have to mount the disk before this!) using the command:

 apt-cdrom add

After this open the sources.list file and change the darkened number to the number of your disc:

 deb cdrom:[Debian GNU/Linux 7.7.0 _Wheezy_ - Official amd64 DVD Binary-1 20141018-13:06]/ wheezy contrib main

You can enable internet sources by modifying the sources.list with the following lines:

deb http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib
deb-src http://ftp.fi.debian.org/debian/ wheezy main contrib

The list of available packages can be updated with the command:

 aptitude update

Updating packages:

 aptitude upgrade

Example sources.list

deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy main
deb http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
deb-src http://http.debian.net/debian wheezy-updates main
deb http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main
deb-src http://security.debian.org/ wheezy/updates main

Searching for packets

You can search for installed and not installed packages using the command

 aptitude search searchword

The command returns you a list of packages that matched with the search word.

The line will begin with an "i" if the package is already installed.

After that comes the package name.

In the end there is a short description of the package.

Example

root@debian:/# aptitude search ssh
...
i   ssh                   - secure shell client and server (metapackage)
...
