Package: devscripts Version: 2.8.14 Severity: normal Hi,
some packages are missing in the output of rc-alert. How to reproduce: # results from rc-alert rc-alert | grep Package: | sed 's/.*: //' | uniq >result.rc-alert # download webpage wget http://bugs.debian.org/release-critical/other/all.html # etract package names grep Package: all.html | sed 's/.*name="\([^"]*\)".*$/^\1$/' >packages.list # generate list of installed packages dpkg -l | awk '{print $2}' >packages.installed # match both grep -f packages.list packages.installed >result.www # generate diff diff result.rc-alert result.www >diff.txt The output of grep ^+ diff.txt on my machine is: +apache2-common +bash +bibletime +brahms +bzflag +cpp-3.3-doc +fglrx-driver +fonty +gcc-2.95 +gcc-3.3-doc +gzip +hwinfo +imlib-progs +imlib1 +kmail +libguile9 +libsasl2 +libtasn1-2 +mpg321 +openvrml-lookat +sun-java5-bin +sun-java5-jre +tcl8.4 +udev +vim +xosview +xserver-xorg-video-i810 I looked at these entries in the HTML file. All (except kmail) have in common that the corresponding entries are colored. I checked about 20 packages that appear in the output of rc-alert and they were not colored. Maybe this is a hint ... Let me know if you need any of the intermediate files above for debugging.
