Furthermore my shell tries to expand *jack*; you have to use >the ' character (don't know its name in English) like this: > >dpkg -l '*jack*' | grep ii Thank you, I'm using Arch Linux and didn't know this, but since I'm aware that "apt" does not have a stable CLI interface, I wanted to ensure that "dpkg -l" works. I already used "dpkg" instead of "apt", since even not all DEB based installs provide "apt", at least not one still supported Ubuntu release. Running "dpkg -l *jack* | grep ii" in an empty directory gains nothing over "dpkg -l '*jack*' | grep ii", but I didn't know that "dpkg -l '*jack*' | grep ii" does work. I'll try to keep this in mind, OTOH the transition to apt, at least for Ubuntu, already started, so dpkg soon or later will be obsolet.
