apt facts

class reemote.facts.apt.get_packages.Get_packages

Bases: object

A reemote fact that gathers installed APT packages from a Debian-based system.

When executed by the reemote framework, this operation runs the apt list –installed command on the target server. It then parses the command’s output to create a structured list of all installed packages, including their names and versions.

The final result is a list of dictionaries, which is attached to the stdout attribute of the completed process object. This operation is read-only and will always have changed=False.

Examples:

yield Get_packages()

reemote -i ~/reemote/inventory-proxmox-debian.py -s reemote/facts/apt/get_packages.py -c Get_packages

reemote.facts.apt.get_packages.parse_apt_list_installed(output)

Parses the output of ‘apt list –installed’ into a list of dictionaries.

This helper function processes the raw string output from the apt list –installed command. It iterates through each line, skipping the “Listing…” header and any empty lines. For each valid package line, it accurately extracts the package name and its corresponding version number.

Parameters:

output (str) – The raw string output from the apt list –installed command.

Returns:

A list of dictionaries, where each dictionary

represents an installed package and contains ‘name’ and ‘version’ keys. Example: [{‘name’: ‘zlib1g’, ‘version’: ‘1:1.2.11.dfsg-2’}].

Return type:

list[dict]
