How to install antiX packageinstaller? [Solved]

[Michael-IDA]

Is there a way to manually install the antiX packageinstaller?

I figured I could just apt-get install, but...

Code: Select all

michael@antix1:~
$ dpkg -S /usr/bin/packageinstaller
dpgk-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/bin/packageinstaller

Background: I’d like to install antiX-21_x64-base [-core, base seems to install window managers] and then manually add TDE on top of that*. I really, really like the MX/antiX package installers, so trying to figure out a way to add it back into a base install.

Thanks,
Michael

* I did this with MX18, it worked really well and didn’t have any of the Xfce/TDE conflicts to work out.

No QSI available: The VM I’m testing with won’t do bidirectional clipboard (and bricks when guest tools are installed). The above code snippet was manually typed, so probably has typo’s.

It's already installed.

Code: Select all

apt policy packageinstaller

Added: Look on the menu under System.

Thanks @figueroa,

Odd that the package doesn't register its own file with dpkg? But that's a mystery for some other day.

thants because the deb package has /bin instead of /usr/bin. /bin is symlinked to /usr/bin, but dpkg-query only searches what the deb file contains, not the system path.
