list-universe

A simple script to list and count the packages that were installed from Ubuntu's Universe repository

To use:

1. Update the package indexes: sudo apt update
2. Ensure you have the relevant dependencies
   1. on 18.04 or earlier (this is normally already installed): sudo apt install python3-apt
   2. on 20.04 or later (these are normally already installed): sudo apt install python3-apt python3-distro
3. Download the Python file: wget https://github.com/Hooloovoo/list-universe/raw/main/list_universe.py
4. Run with: python3 list_universe.py

You should see output such as:

$ python3 list_universe.py 
akqml Ubuntu focal universe
apt-transport-https Ubuntu focal-updates universe
asciinema Ubuntu focal universe
[...]
webcamoid-plugins Ubuntu focal universe
305 packages from Ubuntu universe

Or, if there are no packages installed from Universe:

$ python3 list_universe.py
0 packages from Ubuntu universe
