Hi all.

Is there  a way to get an output of packages installed on a debian
system, without having to arrow around in aptitude? The closest answer
I found to what I'm looking for is

apt-cache pkgnames

, though that seems to give me all the packages in debian, not just
the ones currently installed on the system. Thanks in advance.

Greg
