-====== Packages - Find Large Packages ======
-Issue this command:
-<code bash>
-dpkg --get-selections | cut -f1 | while read pkg; do dpkg -L $pkg | xargs -I'{}' bash -c 'if [ ! -d "{}" ]; then echo "{}"; fi' | tr '\n' '\000' | du -c --files0-from - | tail -1 | sed "s/total/$pkg/"; done | sort -rn > ~/packages.log.txt
-</code>
-If you run this as root, when its finished you will have a file in /root called **packages.log.txt** which has all the packages from your system in it with the size of the package and the files it uses:
-<code bash>
-perl-modules
-php5-cgi
-perl
-coreutils
-iso-codes
-aptitude
-binutils
-python2.5
-</code>
-You can also use something like:
-<code bash>
-dpkg-query -Wf '${Installed-Size}\t${Package}\n' | sort -n
-</code>
-but this also takes the size of databases and extra files.
