Simple dpkg-frontend written in Bash and uses Zenity for GTK-dialogs

dpkg-frontend

This is a simple frontend for dpkg (and apt-get) on Debian-based systems. I wrote it as a part of a class assignment. The script uses Zenity to display the GTK-dialogs and then executes diffrent commands for different things. Note that when installing packages, this runs apt-get install <PKG> -y. This means that all dependencies will be installed without asking.

The script uses as few hardcoded path as possible and then finds the rest of the binaries with which and puts them variables with the same name as the binaries but with an uppercase initial letter.
