_QUERYING SPECIFIC PACKAGES_
# Action Arch Debian/Ubuntu
1. Show all or most information about a package: `pacman -[S|Q]i` `apt show / apt-cache policy`
The tools' verbosity for the default command vary.

Name, version, description, etc.
3. Display remote package information: `pacman -Si` `apt-cache show / aptitude show`
Name, version, description, etc.
4. Display files provided by local package: `pacman -Ql` `dpkg -L`
5. Display files provided by a remote package: `pacman -Fl` `apt-file list $pattern`
6. Query the package which provides FILE: `pacman -Qo` `dpkg -S / dlocate`
7. List the files that the package holds: `pacman -Ql / pacman -Fl` `dpkg-query -L`
