I did do dpkg --clear-avail
But still for _installed obsolete packages_:
# aptitude purge libexempi3
The following packages will be REMOVED:
libexempi3{ap}
0 packages upgraded, 0 newly installed, 1 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
Need to get 0 B of archives. After unpacking 1,040 kB will be freed.
Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]
dpkg: warning: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 14240 package
'mysql-doc':
missing architecture
(Reading database ... 115577 files and directories currently installed.)
Removing libexempi3 ...
Purging configuration files for libexempi3 ...
What do you want me to do, remove my precious obsolete mysql-doc
package?
That or face the rest of my life with those warnings?
I see the change was:
* Always warn when parsing any package control data which does not have
an Architecture field except for status and status log files when
packages are not-installed or half-installed.
* By default reject installing packages w/o an Architecture field. They
now need --force-architecture, dpkg will still warn about them though.
