My take on this, the options expected aren't in a compatible format, so it can't be made GNU style. Also the man page shows that the complained about format is expected. IMO, if it's documented as such, then it should be acceptible. GNU is not the endall argument format. 16217: prompting for clearing avail on updates in dselect dselect doesn't seem to do this anymore 10263: segfaults on upgrade Very old bug concerning libc5->libc6 upgrades. I don't think we have any way to really reproduce it, plus the reports show that the cause was possibly found from some dependencies, but the original poster never responded back. 4074: conffile's left behind Not a current problem with dpkg it seems 1037: dselect help screen Ian said he would fix this in the report when he released the C version of dpkg, that seems to have occured (bug report is vague on what the actual bug is, and attempts at clarifying have failed). Ben....more to come
