Suppose that I have installed a program "someProgram". Now, I want to select the .deb packages that were downloaded into /var/cache/apt/archive folder.

How can I select the packages related to someProgram in /var/cache/apt/archive ?

Not sure exactly what you mean by 'related to', however, if you do:

aptitude show some-package-name

This will show you the dependencies.

Open your terminal(CTRL+ALT+T) and type as 

ls /var/cache/apt/archives | grep <package_name>

for example 

jai@frank-Jai:~$ ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ | grep vlc
libvlc5_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_i386.deb
libvlccore5_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_i386.deb
vlc_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_i386.deb
vlc-data_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_all.deb
vlc-nox_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_i386.deb
vlc-plugin-notify_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_i386.deb
vlc-plugin-pulse_2.0.8-0ubuntu0.13.04.1_i386.deb

  • It is not a complete list of downloaded .deb files (dependencies).
