Package: dctrl-tools Version: 2.13.1 Severity: normal Hi!
The man page says this:
sort-dctrl -k Package,Version:v /var/lib/dpkg/available
Output the dpkg available file sorted primarily in ascending
order of package names and secondarily in descending order of version numbers.
However, as shown in the example below (running tbl-dctrl not needed,
but aids in seeing the for me), sort-dctrl completely ignores the
secondary sorting criteria. The "id: 5" record should come after the
"id: 3" record, not before it.
bash jade ~ $ cat test.dctrl
id: 1
priority: 1
id: 2
priority: 2
id: 5
priority: 1
id: 4
priority: 2
id: 3
priority: 1
bash jade ~ $ cat test.dctrl | sort-dctrl -kpriority:nr,id:nr | tbl-dctrl -c
priority -c id
+==========+====+
| priority | id |
+----------+----+
| 2 | 2 |
| 2 | 4 |
| 1 | 1 |
| 1 | 5 |
| 1 | 3 |
+==========+====+
bash jade ~ $
Cheers,
Ryan
