Package: apt Version: 0.7.25.3 Severity: normal Tags: squeeze The original English output of apt-cache policy looks like this (example):
apt: Installed: 0.7.25.3 Candidate: 0.7.25.3 ... By chance, "installed" and "candidate" have the same length, hence versions start in the same column, which enhances readability. If using other locales (e.g. German/de), this will be different: apt: Installiert: 0.7.25.3 Kandidat: 0.7.25.3 .... suffering readability. Hence I suggest using TABs in the original format string, as you cannot assume that same word lengths will be given for any locale. The current state means discrimination of non-English languages ;) Thanks Ralf. -- Package-specific info: -- (no /etc/apt/preferences present) -- -- /etc/apt/sources.list -- # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # See sources.list(5) for more information, especialy remember that you can # # only use http, ftp or file URIs, CDROMs are managed through apt-cdrom. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # Please use /etc/apt/sources.list.d/ instead of this file and create a # # separate *.list configuration file for each repository, containing the # # actual deb/deb-src desired suites and components for that repository. # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list # # /etc/apt/sources.list.d/sidux.list # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # # -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.33-2.slh.6-sidux-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=de_DE.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages apt depends on: ii debian-archive-keyring 2009.01.31 GnuPG archive keys of the Debian a ii libc6 2.10.2-6 Embedded GNU C Library: Shared lib ii libgcc1 1:4.4.3-7 GCC support library ii libstdc++6 4.4.3-7 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 apt recommends no packages.
