Package: dpkg Version: 1.17.10ubuntu1 Severity: normal It's not hard to guess that this bug is _very_ closely related to bug 734114.
However, that bug was about _redirecting output_, which sounds to me as if this is only regarding the "greater than" sign(s) redirection (whether single redirect or appending by applying two gt signs). But "my" bug is about _piping output_ e. g. to grep, which creates a barely readable output: $ dpkg -l | grep '^ii\s\slibc' For instance... Using a *libc* wildcard and omitting the grep pipe will give a perfect output, though. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers trusty-updates APT policy: (500, 'trusty-updates'), (500, 'trusty-security'), (500, 'trusty-proposed'), (500, 'trusty'), (100, 'trusty-backports') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 3.13.0-32-generic (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii libbz2-1.0 1.0.6-5 ii libc6 2.19-0ubuntu6 ii liblzma5 5.1.1alpha+20120614-2ubuntu2 ii libselinux1 2.2.2-1ubuntu0.1 ii tar 1.27.1-1 ii zlib1g 1:1.2.8.dfsg-1ubuntu1 dpkg recommends no packages.
