**Sorry - first answer was to and with wrong bug number in description**
Hello,
please find attached the above problem description in english by
google-translate with a comment to the added screenshots 1,2 and 3.
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where
appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
Since Debian Buster, I've been using Synaptic with the quick search and
the apian index.
This no longer works under Trixie, and even after point release .3, the
status is still unclear.
Therefore, I also installed packagesearch after the upgrade form
bookworm to trixie to be able to quickly search for installed packages
without having to scroll in a long list every time, as is the case with
the current trixie-Synaptic.
Unfortunately, I've noticed that in packagesearch, for reasons unknown
to me, the indicator under "i" and the information about the installed
version are not consistent with the information from apt or Synaptic.
Packages that are installed are not highlighted.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)?
Start Packagesearch normally and enter the package name under "Nach
Zeichenkette suchen" ("Search by string").
* What was the outcome of this action?
In this specific case, after upgrading to Trixie, I searched for the
packages that the autoremove suggested for removal, in this case using
the term "libpoppler-cpp".
This yielded three results (see screenshots). Two packages were not
marked as installed, and one was. However, only one of the three was
actually not installed!
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would have expected the status to be displayed correctly. Currently,
the installation status can only be determined by the information about
the installed files in the "Files" tab on the right side of the search
results. While this doesn't make Packagesearch completely useless, it's
not as desired.
***Additional comment to screenshots (not in the german description above)
in all screenshots synaptic is visible in background, window of
packagesearch in foreground.
screenshot1 shows "libpoppler-cpp0v5" marked as installed in synaptic
(which is correct) and not marked in packagesearch under "installed
version". it also shows "libpoppler-dev" as not installed both in
synaptic and packagesearch (which is correct).
screenshot2 shows "libpoppler-cpp0v5" as not marked as installed in
packagesearch while there is a listing of installed files (*without*
loading them separately via click on the button "Anzeigen" in the tab
"Daten").
screenshot3 shows the expected message of the real not installed package
"libpoppler-dev" in the tab "Daten".
i can't give additional infos of the package-state in this particular
case because in the meantime i had to finish the
bookworm-to-trixie-update of that machine and to "autoremove --purge"
the packages which where suggested to be autoremoved.
sincerely
Steve
