The general policy regarding dpkg output is that the architecture is only significant for M-A:same packages, which need to be disambiguated. For the others either the user explicitly specified them on the command line or through apt. And if the architecture is relevant it can always be queried through dpkg-query for example. But for log files I agree there's not enough context, it might have been transmitted to another system, or to a bug report etc, and not including always the arch can be quite annoying. So I'm doing that change. thanks, guillem -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [email protected]
