Package: dlocate Version: 0.5-0.3 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
If dlocate wants to be a drop-in replacement for dpkg, shouldn't this simple thing also work the same? vnix$ dpkg -l libsigc++-2.0-0c2a Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================ ii libsigc++-2.0- 2.0.17-2build1 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ - runtime vnix$ dlocate -l libsigc++-2.0-0c2a Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================== In case it's not obvious, it prints the header but no actual result. (I thought there was already a bug about that, but I can't find it. Just submitted a new one.) In order to make it actually display the package, I have to do regex quoting: vnix$ dlocate -l 'libsigc\+\+-2\.0-0c2a' Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==============-==============-============================================== ii libsigc++-2.0- 2.0.17-2build1 type-safe Signal Framework for C++ - runtime See also bug #441183 I know the original author's opinion about the usefulness of the regex "feature" so I put the severity at "wishlist". Maybe it would be time for someone else to take over this package anyway. /* era */ -- If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.
