Package: dpkg Version: 1.4.1.18 Severity: normal I have installed gpg-idea_2.1.1_i386.deb and gpg-rsa_2.1.1_i386.deb. The presence of these packages should have been detected by my patched (Bug#38439) version of vrms - they were not.
Investigating, I find that both /var/lib/dpkg/status and /var/lib/dpkg/available use "Section: utils" for both packages. The control files in the packages have "Section: non-us/non-free", why do dpkg's files not reflect this? -- System Information Debian Release: potato Kernel Version: Linux wetware 2.2.13 #7 Sat Oct 23 03:57:31 BST 1999 i586 unknown Versions of the packages dpkg depends on: ii libc6 2.1.2-5 GNU C Library: Shared libraries and timezone ii libncurses4 4.2-3.2 Shared libraries for terminal handling ii libstdc++2.10 2.95.2-0pre1 The GNU stdc++ library
