SYNC-AVAILABLE(8)	 Debian administrator's manual	     SYNC-AVAILABLE(8)

NAME
       sync-available - sync dpkg's available database with apt's database

SYNOPSIS
       sync-available

       sync-available --version

       sync-available --help

DESCRIPTION
       This  program  updates  the dpkg(8) available database with the data in
       the apt(8) package database.  This is  required	for  grep-available(1)
       and other similar programs to give up-to-date results.

       The same functionality is available through dselect(8), when it is con‐
       figured to use apt(8) as its acquisition method.	 However, this program
       does not require that dselect(8) is installed.

EXIT STATUS
       The  program  exits with status code 0 if all went well, and a non-zero
       status code otherwise.

OPTIONS
       --version
	      Output the name and version of the program onto standard	output
	      stream.

       --help Give a brief usage statement on the standard output stream.

ENVIRONMENT
       TMPDIR The  name	 of  the  directory where temporary files are created.
	      Default is /tmp.

AUTHOR
