Managing Software Packages in EZ Templates Based Container

Linux Parallels Power Panel enables you to install, update and uninstall rpm and deb packages in Containers based on EZ OS templates. To find out what type of template the Container is based on, click the General tab and look at the OS Template in the Container Summary section; if it is Standard, this option is not available for the Container, and if it is EZ you will find the Manage Software Packages icon on the Container dashboard, on the screen that opens by the Configuration tab.

Note: The Container you want to manage software packages in has to be running.

Clicking this icon displays the screen where you can obtain the information on the packages currently installed in the Container in the Installed Packages table, presented as follows:

Column Name

Description

Name

The name of the package.

Epoch

Indicates the version of a deb package or the version of an rpm package in case the version of the rpm package is not available.

Version

The version of an rpm package.

Arch

The processor architecture; if the column shows the "noarch" value, the packet is likely to be either non-executable or contain documentation.

Summary

A short description of the package.

Status

Shows if there is a fresher version of the package: Up-to-date or Update Found.

The Installed Packages table displays from 10 up to 80 packages, the default number is 20 and can be changed by clicking 10, 40, or 80 on top of the table. To see the next portion of packages, click either the number of the page next to the one you are having at the moment, or next (or last, to view the previous page).

If the status of a package in the Installed Packages table suggests that an update is available, you can select this package and click the Update link near the table. To update all those packages that you can see on the page, select the uppermost checkbox and click Update. If you need to run update for all the packages installed in the Container, do not select anything - simply click the Update All Packages icon in the Actions section.

To uninstall a package, select it (or select the uppermost checkbox to uninstall all the packages listed on the page), and click Uninstall.

Virtuozzo can query the repository where the packages for your distribution are stored for new packages available for downloading and install them in your Container. To connect to the repository, fetch a list of the packages, see the packages description, download and install in your Container the packages you need, click the Install Packages icon.
