Hello dpkg developers,
The way dpkg -l cut columns may generated wrong versions in bug reports:
An example
yellowpig% COLUMNS=80 dpkg -l libopenal0 | grep libopenal0
ii libopenal0 0.2001061600-2 OpenAL is a portable library for 3D spatiali
So I have version 0.2001061600-2 ? Wrong:
yellowpig% COLUMNS=130 dpkg -l libopenal0 | grep libopenal0
ii libopenal0 0.2001061600-2.1 OpenAL is a portable
library for 3D spatialized audio.
In fact I have version 0.2001061600-2.1 !
There is a similar problem in potato with proftpd, it loks like version
1.2.0pre10-2.0
yellowpig% COLUMNS=80 dpkg -l proftpd | grep proftpd
ii proftpd 1.2.0pre10-2.0 Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon
But in fact I have
yellowpig% COLUMNS=130 dpkg -l proftpd | grep proftpd
ii proftpd 1.2.0pre10-2.0potato1 Versatile,
virtual-hosting FTP daemon
If you really want dpkg -l to cut important fields like package name or
version number, please use a ">" terminator to make it clear it is not
finished, like in
i proftpd 1.2.0pre10-2.0>Versatile, virtual-hosting FTP daemon
Kind regards,

Three options:
1. use a wider tty
2. set the COLUMN environment to make dpkg thing your tty is wider
3. wait for dpkg 1.10 to be release which has a dpkg-query command with
customizable output formats
