Package: bash-completion Version: 1:2.1-4.2 Severity: normal File: /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/dpkg
If a package is installed but unconfigured then it is not offered as a completion for "dpkg -P", whereas I hoped it would. I struck this on an arch "all" perl package installed by "dpkg -i" but which was missing a dependency, ... dependency problems - leaving unconfigured The status line was Status: install ok unpacked I never remember the subtle stages a package with problems may go through. Perhaps almost any installed-ness is a candidate to purge. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-686-pae (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_AU.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages bash-completion depends on: ii bash 4.3-14+b1 ii dpkg 1.18.4 bash-completion recommends no packages. bash-completion suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
