As far as I studied, pkg-config command returns the info about all the libraries installed in my Linux system. Can anyone specify me from where does it get these details? Also, where will I get the details(at least name) of the softwares installed. I have tried dpkg --get-selections command. But it lists all packages. i.e., if rhythmbox is the software installed, it lists the following:rhythmbox                       installrhythmbox-data                  installrhythmbox-mozilla               installrhythmbox-plugin-cdrecorder     installrhythmbox-plugin-magnatune      installrhythmbox-plugin-zeitgeist      installrhythmbox-plugins               installIs there some way by which I can list only the name of the software?
