Package: dpkg Version: 1.10.9 Severity: wishlist lets say we purge a package, then list it:
# dpkg -l dpkg-www Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold |Status=Not/Installed/Config-files/Unpacked/Failed-config/Half-installed |/ Err?=(none)/Hold/Reinst-required/X=both-problems (Status,Err:uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-==================-==================-==================================================== pn dpkg-www <none> (no description available) well, true, it is a cosmetic problem, but as you see, there is no way to make the desired state letter match the status letter, as all there is is "Not/Installed" and no matching category. therefore we never reach our desires, one could say. so maybe rename something. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux debian 2.4.19-k7 #1 Sun Oct 6 20:29:56 EST 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=zh_TW.Big5, LC_CTYPE=zh_TW.Big5 Versions of packages dpkg depends on: ii dselect 1.10.9 a user tool to manage Debian packa ii libc6 2.3.1-10 GNU C Library: Shared libraries an -- no debconf information
