Topic: Default packages attitude 12.09rc2 tplink 1043nd

Hello!
   Can someone tell me what are the default packages installed on attitude adjustment 12.09rc2 as seen in luci webgui on a tplink 1043nd?
   Sry for the stupid question but i installed some new packages that installed some subpackeges and now i've run out of memory although i deinstalled the original packages. I've searched the forum but no luck!
  Thank you!

Hi,
The way I see it is you want the opposite. You want to uninstall 'user installed' packages (and dependencies), am I right?
The following script will list those I think. It is not very efficient, but I don't know how to reverse grep actually.

#!/bin/ash                                                                                                                                           
for packages in "$(cat /usr/lib/opkg/status | grep -n 'user install' | cut -d ':' -f1)"; do 
printf %s "$packages" | while IFS= read -r nline; do 
sed -n 1,$nline' s/Package/&/p' /usr/lib/opkg/status | tail -n 1 
done        
done

Cheers,
Guillermo

Thank you for the answer. Finally i decided to do a firstboot command and start over smile I was hoping to avoid that(you never know what could happen in the process). But big thanks for help!

I've been looking for how to do that for longer than I want to admit. Thanks!

Edit -- Looking into this a bit further, the script doesn't seem to catch dependencies of user-installed packages. For example, it finds tcpdump-mini, but not libpcap.

Yes, you are right! Sorry about that. I found another keyword that may be used for dependencies. The problem is packages and dependencies are all mixed up. I cant think of a time when you are going to need this but..

#!/bin/ash                                                                                                                                           
echo "Installed Packages: "
packages="$(cat /usr/lib/opkg/status | grep -n 'user install' | cut -d ':' -f1)"'
' 
printf %s "$packages" | while IFS= read -r nline; do 
sed -n 1,$nline' s/Package/&/p' /usr/lib/opkg/status | tail -n 1 
done        
echo "***"
echo "Dependencies: "
packages="$(cat /usr/lib/opkg/status | grep -n 'Auto-Installed' | cut -d ':' -f1)"'
'
printf %s "$packages" | while IFS= read -r nline; do                            
sed -n 1,$nline' s/Package/&/p' /usr/lib/opkg/status | tail -n 1
done 

This one lists installed packages and first generation dependencies:

#!/bin/ash                                                                                                                                           
fautoi (){
printf %s "$dependencias" | while IFS= read -r ndep; do 
if [ "$ndepc" -ne 0 ]; then
nlinea=$(grep -n 'Package:\ '"$ndep" /usr/lib/opkg/status |  cut -d ':' -f1)    
nlineb=$(sed -n $(($nlinea + 1))',$p' /usr/lib/opkg/status | grep -m 1 -n 'Package:\ ' |  cut -d ':' -f1) 
nlineb=$(($nlinea + $nlineb))
if $(sed -n "$nlinea","$nlineb"p /usr/lib/opkg/status | grep -q 'Auto-Installed'); then
echo '++ '"$(sed -n "$nlinea"p /usr/lib/opkg/status)" 
fi
else 
ndepc=1
fi
done
}

echo "Installed Packages: "
echo ""
packages="$(cat /usr/lib/opkg/status | grep -n 'user install' | cut -d ':' -f1)"'
' 
printf %s "$packages" | while IFS= read -r nline; do 
sed -n 1,$nline' s/Package/&/p' /usr/lib/opkg/status | tail -n 1 
dependencias="$(sed -n 1,$nline' s/Depends:\ /&/p' /usr/lib/opkg/status | tail -n 1)"

dependencias="$(echo $dependencias | sed 's/Depends:\ //' | sed 's/,\ /\n/g' )"'
' 
ndepc=0
fautoi
echo "***"
done
