About

DPKG is a tool to install, build, remove and manage Debian packages. The primary and more user-friendly front-end for DPKG is aptitude. DPKG itself is controlled entirely via command line parameters, which consist of exactly one action and zero or more options. The action parameter tells DPKG what to do and options control the behavior of the action in some way. DPKG can also be used as a front-end to DPKG-deb(1) and DPKG-query. The list of supported actions can be found later on in the actions section. If any such action is encountered DPKG just runs DPKG-deb or DPKG-query with the parameters given to it, but no specific options are currently passed to them, to use any such option the back-ends need to be called directly. DPKG maintains some usable information about available packages. The information is divided into three classes, states, selection states, and flags. These values are intended to be changed mainly with dselect.

About

Zypper is a command-line package manager for installing, updating, and removing packages. It can also be used to manage repositories. Zypper works and behaves as a regular command-line tool. It features subcommands, arguments, and options that can be used to perform specific tasks. Zypper offers several benefits compared to graphical package managers. Being a command-line tool, Zypper is faster in use and light on resources. Zypper actions can be scripted. Zypper can be used on systems that do not have graphical desktop environments. This makes it suitable for use with servers and remote machines. The simplest way to execute Zypper is to type its name, followed by a command. Additionally, you can choose from one or more global options by typing them immediately before the command. Some commands require one or more arguments. Executing subcommands in the Zypper shell, and using global Zypper options are not supported.
