$ dpkg -s nedit
dpkg-query: package 'nedit' is not installed and no information is available
Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files,
and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents.
Portanto, você pode usar esse comando para verificar se um pacote está instalado:
#!/usr/bin/env bash
run_install()
{
## Prompt the user
read -p "Do you want to install missing libraries? [Y/n]: " answer
## Set the default value if no answer was given
answer=${answer:Y}
## If the answer matches y or Y, install
[[ $answer =~ [Yy] ]] && apt-get install ${boostlibnames[@]}
}
boostlibnames=("libboost-serialization1.55.0" "libboost-thread1.55.0"
"libboost-date-time1.55.0" "libboost-signals1.55.0" "nedit")
## Run the run_install function if sany of the libraries are missing
dpkg -s "${boostlibnames[@]}" >/dev/null 2>&1 || run_install
