Package: dpkg
Version: 1.13.25
Severity: normal
In transferring a package list from one machine to another using
--get/set-selections, I noticed that the spamassassin package didn't get
installed. A quick test on the command line showed this:
# dpkg --get-selections | grep spam
spamc install
# grep spam packages.txt
spamassassin install
spamc install
# dpkg --set-selections < packages.txt
# dpkg --get-selections | grep spam
spamc install
#
As you can see both spamc and spamassassin are in the packages.txt file,
but only spamc is being set by --set-selections.

They got marked as to be installed, but only spamc was already
installed on the second box. If you want to get packages selections
for packages not currently purged you should use:
$ dpkg --get-selections '*' | grep spam
which will show what you want. This is documented in the man page.
Thus closing this bug report.
