I'm trying to use dpkg command but in Mac OS X it doesn't seem to work for me
dpkg -scanpackages -m . /dev/null -->Packages
-bash: dpkg: command not found
dns:Administrator$ man dpkg
No manual entry for dpkg
I wonder how can I use the dpkg in Mac??
Or homebrew Link
brew install dpkg
The macports version has a lot of dependencies and takes forever.
If all you want to do is see what is in the package then unar and untar it.
ar -x package.deb
You should then have a debian-version, control.tar.gz and data.tar.gz in your current directory. The files the package would add will be in data.tar.gz. The package description will be in a file named control inside the control.tar.gz file.
tar -tvzf data.tar.gz
