| File Description | DEB is the filename extension of the standard Debian software package. It usually contains two archives optionally compressed with gzip, Bzip2, lzma, or xz (lzma2) - one for the package control information and another for the real package data. The default program for handling these DEB files is dpkg, most commonly via other programs such as apt/aptitude. But you can also unarchive DEB files with the following programs. |
