Does Debian use DNF?
On Debian-derived systems, dpkg handles individual package files. On CentOS and Fedora systems, yum and dnf are used to install individual files, and will also handle needed dependencies.
Is DNF the same as apt?
Two common package manager commands are apt and dnf . The apt command manages DEB packages, while dnf manages RPM packages. The two are not strictly exclusive of one another in theory, although in practice, a Linux distribution generally uses one or the other.
What is apt get for Fedora?
APT is the package manager/dependency solver for the Debian ecosystem, i.e. it manages . deb packages installed by the DPKG program. Fedora software is based on . rpm packages, and thus uses DNF, the package manager/dependency solver for the RPM program, instead.

On dnf systems, this can be done via dnf repoquery -l . To do this on Ubuntu, you can use a utility called apt-file and run apt-file list . You might need to install this yourself, as it is maintained by the apt team but is not part of apt itself.

Is there a predecessor to DNF in Debian?
“yum” (predecessor to dnf) exists as package on debian. As yum is to 95% compatible with “dnf” I could achieve what i originally wanted without “dnf”, which I still would prefer, to avoid future problems. I assume that you are talking about a chroot.

Is it possible to install DNF without Yum?
As yum is to 95% compatible with “dnf” I could achieve what i originally wanted without “dnf”, which I still would prefer, to avoid future problems. I assume that you are talking about a chroot. I was unable to do everything using yum from the repository as in Mandragor’s answer, but that was enough to get me bootstrapped.
