Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.7 Severity: important --- Please enter the report below this line. ---
Something is wrong with --print-avail. It used to give usefule package information for installed packages, but now it seems to be broken: $LANG=C dpkg --print-avail reportbug dpkg-query: package 'reportbug' is not available Use dpkg --info (= dpkg-deb --info) to examine archive files, and dpkg --contents (= dpkg-deb --contents) to list their contents. reportbug *is* installed on my system. However, $ LANG=C dpkg --print-avail dpkg works fine and shows the expected output. I'm using severity important, as reportbug-ng needs --print-avail to get the package dependency information, see below.
